Ronaldo, 36, and Messi, 34, have scored 483 and 475 goals respectively.

But now the Swedish superstar has joined them in spectacular fashion.

He has reached the 300-goal milestone in four of Europe's Big Five leagues, with the Bundesliga being the only one he has missed out on.

And Ibrahimovic has picked up a trophy cabinet of silverware in the process.

Winning Serie A with Juventus, Inter and AC Milan as well as La Liga with Barcelona, Ligue 1 with PSG and the Europa League with Manchester United.

This record even excludes his strikes for Malmo, Ajax and LA Galaxy, where he scored a combined 104 goals.

The flashy striker is infamous for his swagger on and off the pitch and famously said: "Why be a Fiat when you can be a Ferrari."

The Ferrari has now joined the Lamborghini and Rolls-Royce in the garage, as Ibrahimovic enters football folklore with Ronaldo and Messi.

AC Milan found themselves just moments away from a shock defeat at Udinese on Saturday night, after Beto had put the home side ahead early on.

But when a late ball into the box sat up for Ibrahimovic, there was only one end to the story.

An acrobatic finish from the classy Swede hit the back of the net and confirmed his membership in the 300 club.

The draw keeps AC Milan top of Serie A, but rivals Inter will jump above them today with a win at Cagliari.
