IF you've netted 90 times in your career as a footballer, chances are you've got a pretty decent eye for goal.

To get close to a century is no mean feat, of course... but to net in each of the 90 minutes of a game? That is simply impossible, no?

Apparently not, as three of world football's biggest superstars have sensationally managed to do just that.

They are, of course, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Zlatan Ibrahimovic... Who else?

Starting with that man Ron, what is most incredible about how he completed his full set was that it was a surprising number holding him back.

The Real Madrid and Portugal star managed the feat back in 2014 in the Copa del Rey clash with Atletico Madrid, as his two goals - both from the penalty spot - sealed a 2-0 win, 5-0 on aggregate.

CR7 netted in the seventh and 16th-minute... With the first of his two goals finally giving him the full 90 - his lucky No7.

Ibrahimovic meanwhile also achieved the stunning feat in 2014 when his brace for Sweden against minnows Estonia meant he became the second man to net in all 90 minutes of a football match.

Not one to be outdone, by Ronaldo or otherwise, now-Manchester United ace Zlatan also reached his mark his another historic milestone.

The Swede forward took his international total to 50 goals in that game - breaking an 82-year-old record set by Sven Rydell in the process.

But what of that man Leo?

Messi has not quite managed the feat as yet, understandably so, given he has played around 150 matches fewer than both Ron and Zlat.

But he's not far off... In fact, the Barcelona wizard just needs to score in two separate minutes in order to complete his goal-scoring bingo card: The first and second minutes.

While Argentine ace Messi tends to enjoy assessing his opponents in the opening exchanges, if he wants to catch up with old rival Ronaldo, he'll need to leap into life early.

So Barca, for Leo's sake, get yourselves an early free-kick - or better yet, penalty - and let Mr Messi draw level with pesky frenemy Ronaldo and the one and only Zlatan...
