Career totals from the ESPN season archive — all competitions, the same numbers The Record below shows (Wikidata's senior spells fill in when the archive is thin — never the youth years, which stay listed on their own below); live World Cup stats from our own match timelines. Individual awards are counted separately from team trophies, so the headline count can't inflate.
