Players with 300 or more goals in top flight domestic league (European clubs)

I think this could be a reliable list, but maybe not exact, of players with more goals in the top flight domestic leagues in the world. I only consider goals in national leagues but I don´t consider goals in regional or state leagues, for example, the state championships in Brazil or the Oberliga in Germany before Bundesliga. That's why names like Pele, Romario or Uwe Seeler with a lot of goals in regional championships are not in this list.

The list is updated to 8 August 2020.

  1. Josef Bican 518 (Bohemia and Moravia 241, Czechoslovakia 206, Austria 71)
  2. Ferenc Puskás 514 (Hungary 358, Spain 156)

Correct answer by schus on October 6, 2020

There are several players who have scored over 300 goals in top flight league.
In the current scenario they they are:
1. Cristiano Ronaldo (442 goals)
2. Lionel Messi (440 goals)
3. Zlatan Ibrahimovic (372 goals)

There are other players like Gerd Muller, Jimmy Graves, Pele and Bican.

It's very unfair of people not counting the Brazilian leagues as the top flight domestic league because in 1960s Brazilian team regularly defeated European teams with ease.

Thus Bican, Pele and then Messi and Ronaldo comes up, out of all the players Pele and Josep Bican has the highest goal ration followed by Gerd Muller, Messi and Ronaldo.
