5 players with the most league goals after turning 30

#3 Antonio Di Natale - 162

Antonio Natale was a prolific goalscorer.

Antonio Di Natale was a prolific goalscorer for club and country during his playing days.

The 44-year-old, with 209 goals, is one of only seven players to have scored over 200 times in the Serie A. That includes an impressive 162 strikes - all for Udinese - after he turned 30 in October 2007.

Though the former Italy centre-forward didn't win an Italian top-flight title, he won two Capocannoniere awards, doing so in consecutive seasons (2009-10 and 2010-11).

Di Natale, who also scored 11 times for Italy, impressively bagged at least ten strikes in ten of his 14 Serie A campaigns. Both his Capocannoniere awards came after he turned 30.

#2 Zlatan Ibrahimovic - 190

Zlatan Ibrahimovic (#11) is still going strong despite turning 40.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is one of the most storied strikers in the history of the sport, especially since the turn of the century.

Still going strong despite turning 40, Ibrahimovic recently scored the 500th goal of his club career. The Sweden international has won league titles in four different countries - Netherlands, Italy, Spain and France.

Late last year, the AC Milan marksman joined Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo (more on him later) as the only players to score 300 goals in Europe's top-five league. Almost 200 of those strikes have come after he stepped into his fourth decade in October 2011.

This season, the 40-year-old has netted eight times in Serie A as Milan seek their first league title in 11 years. They are currently trail defending champions Inter Milan by a solitary point after 27 games.

#1 Cristiano Ronaldo - 196

Cristiano Ronaldo is still going strong despite being on the wrong side of 30.

Cristiano Ronaldo, like Messi, is widely regarded by many as one of the greatest players in the game's history.

In his near two-decade-long career for club and country, the 37-year-old has amassed over 800 goals. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner (311) is one of only two players - Messi being the other - to score over 300 times in La Liga.

After leaving Real Madrid in the summer of 2018 as their all-time top scorer (450 goals), Ronaldo spent a decent three-season spell at Juventus. He netted 101 times across competitions, including 81 strikes in the league, winning two Serie A titles.

Back at Manchester United last summer, Ronaldo has struck nine league goals this season, but has struck only once in his last eight outings.

He'll be hoping for a strong end to his campaign as fourth-placed United find themselves in a tight race for the top four.
