This is a list that will be constantly updated in the future. There are players who could complete the list, but the numbers have not yet been confirmed or the data is missing.

Criteria:

#: The footballer scored more or equal than 55 goals.
#: The list considers the footballers who scored mostly in high-level matches.
#: The list does not considers matches characterized as friendly matches.
#: Calendar year.
