Not heard of Hulk, you say? He is impossible not to notice on the pitch with his physical appearance, but has steered clear of the biggest leagues. Japanese football, Portuguese, then Russia, China, before the 38-year-old now ends his career in Brazilian football. On Wednesday night, a milestone came that Neymar hardly appreciated.
In the Atletico Mineiros shirt, Hulk scored his 443rd goal. With Neymar at 442, the 38-year-old is thus the active Brazilian with the most goals in official matches.

It’s a long way up to Cristiano Ronaldo, but in Brazil Hulk is the goal king.
Cristiano Ronaldo | 934 goals |
Lionel Messi | 858 goals |
Robert Lewandowski | 710 goals |
Luis Suarez | 587 goals |
Karim Benzema | 494 goals |
Edinson Cavani | 462 goals |
Harry Kane | 447 goals |
Edin Dzeko | 446 goals |
Hulk | 433 goals |
Neymar | 432 goals |
We’re guessing Neymar will make a point out of where the goals have been scored, but the numbers without context say as of Tuesday that Hulk is the biggest, still active goal machine in Brazil.
Congratulations!
