Fastest players to 100 goals in each of Europe’s top five leagues

A Khel Now feature published on 2026-09-23 lists the quickest players to reach 100 goals in each of Europe’s top five leagues, naming Cristiano Ronaldo, Harry Kane, Gunnar Nordahl, Johnny Campbell and Josip Skoblar.

The piece compares how long several prolific forwards took to hit the century mark in a single one of Europe’s big five competitions and highlights individual records from LaLiga, the Bundesliga, Serie A, the Premier League and Ligue 1.

Harry Kane reached 100 Bundesliga goals after scoring twice in a 7-0 win over Union Berlin, and moved on to 101 after adding another goal; the article notes he achieved the mark before making his 100th start. Kane, who moved from Tottenham Hotspur to Bayern Munich in 2023, said: “Very proud, to be honest, to reach 100 goals in the Bundesliga,” and added, “Obviously, I’ve done it in the Premier League, so now to have it in a different league is something I’m really proud of. All I can say is a big thanks to the team.”

Cristiano Ronaldo reached 100 goals in LaLiga in only 92 games for Real Madrid, the feature states, and records him as the sole player to reach the century mark in fewer than 100 appearances in that competition. The article recounts his transition at Real Madrid by saying: "Cristiano Ronaldo went from being a fun winger to a goal machine when he moved to Real Madrid."

In Serie A, Gunnar Nordahl is credited with hitting 100 goals in 110 games; the article adds that he scored 225 goals in 291 Serie A appearances. The Khel Now piece presents those figures as one of the fastest and most prolific goals-per-game rates in Serie A history.

The write-up identifies Johnny Campbell as the fastest to 100 Premier League goals for his era, stating the Scottish forward scored 100 goals in just 102 games while playing for Sunderland, with the milestone dated to 1894 in the article.

For Ligue 1, Josip Skoblar is listed as the record-holder for the fastest player to reach 100 goals for a single club (Marseille), completing that total in exactly 100 games; the feature also says he is now third in the history of individual records for the fastest century mark across Europe’s traditional top five leagues.
