Answer: Ferenc Puskas

Sunil Chhetri, India’s captain, scored the second goal in their final AFC Asian Cup 2023 qualifying third-round game against Hong Kong on Tuesday at Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata. With this goal, the captain matched Hungarian legend Ferenc Puskas’ total of 84 international goals.

Tottenham Hotspur’s official India Twitter handle, @Spurs_India, sent a message of congratulations to the Indian icon.

“Congratulations to India’s @chetrisunil11 for equalling the great Ferenc Puskas with his tally of 84 international goals! #IndianFootball,” the message read.

Chhetri’s 84 goals came in 129 games, whereas Ferenc Puskas’ record came in just 85.

Puskas, who died in 2006 at the age of 79, is one of football’s most iconic figures. Aside from being one of the best players to ever play the beautiful game, often leading the “Mighty Magyars,” the midfielder also represented Spain.

Sunil Chhetri, 37, is now only two goals behind Argentina’s Lionel Messi in the list of active footballers with the most international goals (86 in 162 games). Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal leads the way with 117 goals in 189 games.

With 80 goals in 107 games, Ali Mabkhout of the UAE ranks fourth, and Poland’s Robert Lewandowski (76 in 132) is fifth.

Anwar Ali, Chhetri, Manvir Singh, and Ishan Pandita scored to help India defeat Hong Kong 4-0. Both teams knew they had qualified for the continental championship hours before the game began in Kolkata. They also competed for the top spot in Group D.

India won all three games, with Chhetri scoring in all three.

Tottenham Hotspur will open the 2022-23 English Premier League season at home against Southampton on August 6.

Last season, Antonio Conte’s men finished fourth and qualified for the UEFA Champions League. Spurs will also compete in the FA Cup and League Cup.
