Most successful clubs overall (1898–present) edit

The following table includes only Italian, European and worldwide competitions organised respectively by FIGC, UEFA and FIFA since 1898.[129] The figures in bold represent the most times this competition has been won by an Italian team. Teams which have one at least one official title are included, ranked by number of overall titles at national and/or international level and listed in chronological order in case of a tie. In particular, note that the UEFA Cup unlike the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup was an official competition organized by UEFA. Original idea of the ICFC was a trade fairs promoting competition and was not organised by UEFA. It is not considered as an official tournament by UEFA due to the major idea of promoted trade fairs and the system of admission of the first editions. At the beginning it was only open to a certain few clubs from some European countries that were promoting trade and not an open football tournament. However, it is the official predecessor of UEFA Cup - Europa League (by UEFA) and recognized by FIFA (and FIGC) as a major trophy.

Notes edit

  1. ^ Tally does not include 16 goals that Piola also scored from 29 appearances during the 1945–46 Divisione Nazionale season
  2. ^ According to several sources, Andrea Pirlo scored 28 goals from free kicks in Serie A, which would make him the all–time highest goalscorer from set–pieces in Serie A history, alongside Siniša Mihajlović;[39][40] however, two of his claimed goals are disputed and have been recorded as own goals by two different goalkeepers according to other sources: the first by Sébastien Frey in Verona-Reggina 1–1 on 9 January 2000 (1999–2000 Serie A),[41][42] and the second by Marco Silvestri in Juventus-Cagliari 3–0 on 16 May 2014 (2013–14 Serie A).[43][44][45] According to the official regulations by Lega Serie A, a goal is considered to be an own goal when "a player deflects a shot, cross, or pass from an opponent, which was not directed on target, into their own goal."[46] See also it:Statistiche della Serie A#Calci piazzati.

  6. ^ Although some sources claim that Giorgio Chinaglia is in fact the highest-scoring Italian player in all competitions with 398 career goals, this claim is also disputed, as the NASL did not abide to certain FIFA regulations at the time in which Chinaglia was playing there[94]
  7. ^ 362 if his goals for the Italy U-17 (1), U-18 (12), and U-21 teams (3) are included
  8. ^ 349 if his goals in the Divisione Nazionale are included
  9. ^ 321 if his goals for the Italy U-16 team (3) are included
