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
6 appearances in recorded line-ups · 1962–1974The archive holds 6 team sheets naming Gianni Rivera in Italy's starting line-up, from 1962-05-31 to 1974-06-19.
6 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.
