Top 6 Players With Most Headed Goals in Football History After Ronaldo’s Latest Mark
Aug 23, 2024
In football, headers are the second most effective way to score goals, and many players have mastered this skill.
Some of the sport's biggest names, including Cristiano Ronaldo, have built impressive careers by scoring headed goals.
On Thursday, August 22nd, the Portuguese star showcased his prowess by netting a superb header as Al-Nassr kicked off the Saudi Pro League season with a 1-1 draw against Al-Raed at Riyadh's Al-Awwal Stadium.
The 39-year-old broke the deadlock by rising highest in the box to connect with Sadio Mane’s cross from the left, per Sportskeeda.
Scoring headers is no easy feat, requiring a great deal of composure and precision.
Several star forwards have not only relied on their footwork to score but have also honed their heading abilities to find the back of the net.
Players with most headed goals in football history
6. Robert Lewandowski - 82
Lewandowski is a modern-day goal-scoring machine, capable of finding the net with any part of his body—right foot, left foot, chest, or head—much like Cristiano Ronaldo.
His tall stature makes him a constant challenge for defenders. At 34, he has already scored 82 headed goals and shows no signs of slowing down.
It’s only a matter of time before he climbs higher on the list of players with the most headed goals.
