Scoring 100 goals in a top-flight league is an achievement on its own. Registering 100 assists is just as difficult. But doing both in the same league? That puts a player in a truly elite bracket.
Only 11 players in football history have managed to hit both those milestones in a single domestic league. Here’s a closer look at the names who’ve made it into this rare club, and the numbers behind their brilliance.
1. Lionel Messi (La Liga)
No surprises here. Messi’s record in La Liga is unmatched: 474 goals and 191 assists in 519 appearances. That’s a staggering 1.285 goal contributions per game. For over a decade, he didn’t just dominate Spain, he redefined it.
2. Francesco Totti (Serie A)
The King of Rome delivered across two decades at AS Roma. Totti scored 250 goals in Serie A and racked up over 139 assists. He played 619 games in the Italian top flight and was the heartbeat of the Giallorossi for years.
3. Thomas Müller (Bundesliga)
Müller’s intelligence on the pitch is well-known, and it’s reflected in the numbers: 139 goals and 156 assists in 423 Bundesliga matches. He’s one of the few players with more assists than goals, proving just how selfless and effective he is.
4. Ryan Giggs (Premier League)
A symbol of longevity and consistency, Giggs made 632 appearances for Manchester United in the Premier League. He scored 109 goals and created 162—no winger has matched that level of creative output in English football.
5. Dusan Tadic (Eredivisie)
Tadic’s numbers in the Netherlands are quietly elite. With 109 goals and 121 assists in 279 Eredivisie games, he averaged over 0.85 goal contributions per match. Underrated by many, but his stats tell the full story.
6. Alex (Süper Lig)
A cult hero in Turkey, Alex de Souza was a magician for Fenerbahçe. He scored 134 times and laid on 105 assists in just 241 games. That’s nearly a goal or assist in every match.
7. Karim Benzema (La Liga)
Benzema spent years doing the dirty work for Cristiano Ronaldo, but his own numbers are impressive: 222 goals and 104 assists in La Liga. After Ronaldo’s departure, he took on the lead role and didn’t disappoint.
8. Landon Donovan (MLS)
Donovan remains one of the most productive players in MLS history. 145 goals and 104 assists in 340 games. He was the face of the league for over a decade and consistently delivered.
9. Wayne Rooney (Premier League)
Rooney’s legacy is cemented. With 208 Premier League goals and 103 assists, he remains one of the most complete forwards the league has seen, equally capable of finishing and creating.
10. Frank Lampard (Premier League)
The highest-scoring midfielder in Premier League history also had an eye for a pass. Lampard scored 176 times and assisted 102 more in 609 games. He was Chelsea’s engine for over a decade.
11. Dimitri Payet (Ligue 1)
Payet’s creativity has always been his trademark. Across 476 Ligue 1 matches, he has 100 goals and 113 assists—a balanced output from one of the most gifted playmakers in France in recent years.
