I said in my first point that even though Pele hasn’t scored 1000 goals, his goalscoring record looks to be incredible. But diving even further into it, it starts to look less and less of an incredible feat. There are many, many games in which Santos (the team Pelé mostly played in) scored 10+ goals against the opposition. Some examples : 11–0 against Botafogo in which Pelé scored 8 goals / 10–0 against Nacional in which Pelé scored 5. There are many games in which Pele scored 5 goals, which suggests the defence in the Brazilian league isn’t near as good as the defence nowadays (generally) and certainly not on par with the quality of defence in Europe’s top 5 leagues (Where Messi and Ronaldo play).
