Counted from the international goal archive — every scorer-credited goal in the matches it covers, 1916 to today. A record of covered matches, not a complete career count; own goals never join a scorer's tally.

In the line-ups
10 appearances in recorded line-ups · 2014–2022The archive holds 10 team sheets naming Dries Mertens in Belgium's starting line-up, from 2014-06-22 to 2022-12-01.
10 appearances in the starting line-ups the archive holds — not a career total. Our line-up coverage is partial, so a match he played that we hold no sheet for is simply not counted here.
