Berbatov scored twice in Bulgaria’s friendly with Malta Wednesday night which brought his total number of national team goals to 48, one more than the previous record of legendary Bulgarian footballer from the 1960s and 1970s, Hristo Bonev. (Bonev played for the Bulgarian national team in 1967-1979; he has 98 matches.)

Bulgaria’s internationally successful footballer, Hristo Stoichkov, is third in the ranking with 37 goals. Stoichkov played for the Bulgarian national team in 1987-1999 in a total of 83 matches.

Berbatov has played for the Bulgarian National Football Team since 1999. He has scored his 48 goals in 76 matches.
