Melo's battle for hegemony has been the hottest topic in football in the past 20 years, but since the 2022 World Cup, it seems that there has been no Melo's battle for hegemony, because Messi led Argentina to win the World Cup and become one of the three major football kings. Since then, Ronaldo's remarks have been a bit jealous and nonsense. For professional football players, winning the World Cup is the greatest dream.

Recently, Cristiano Ronaldo said that the World Cup is no longer his dream, while Messi has always said that the World Cup is his biggest dream. Even Cancelo, a teammate of the Portuguese national team, could not stand Cristiano Ronaldo's remarks. The Portuguese international ignored the words of his big brother in the team and insisted that the World Cup is his biggest dream. So who are the top fifteen scorers in World Cup history? Ronaldo ranked second, Messi tied for fourth, Batty tied for tenth, and there is no Ronaldo in the top fifteen.
