## Wu Lei's Goal Statistics at Shanghai Port: A Stellar Performance

When discussing legendary figures in modern Chinese football, one name towers above all others for club success: **Wu Lei**. His time at Shanghai Port (formerly SIPG) wasn't just productive; it was historic, cementing him as the club’s all-time leading goalscorer and a true icon for fans nationwide. His stats tell an undeniable story of consistent excellence at the highest level of domestic competition.

During his primary tenure with the club (2013–2018, then again since 2021), Wu Lei transformed from a promising young talent into a prolific world-class striker right before our eyes. Over hundreds of appearances across league, cup, and continental matches, he accumulated staggering numbers:

* **Chinese Super League (CSL):** He smashed the single-season record by scoring **27 goals** in 2018 – a landmark achievement still cited today. Crucially, this wasn't luck; multiple seasons saw him top 15+ goals consistently. By the end of his latest stint, only Hao Junmin had ever held the all-time CSL golden boot *more* times than Wu Lei (twice each), highlighting his sustained peak performance over rival attackers. More importantly, across *all* his competitive outings for Shanghai Port, including domestic cups and the AFC Champions League, his official total surpassed **150 goals**.

Beyond raw volume, quality mattered immensely. Many goals were crucial late winners or stunners from distance. His pace, intelligent movement offside traps, clinical finishing, and ability to arrive at the right place at the right time made defenders despair weekly. This relentless pursuit of goalmouth action directly fuelled Shanghai Port’s dominance under coaches like Vitor Pereira, delivering them multiple CSL titles during his peak years.

Wu Lei’s impact transcended spreadsheets. As captain, his leadership inspired teammates, while his connection with supporters became profound. Celebrating goals wearing the iconic blue shirt became synonymous with joy and local pride. That dramatic volley against Guangzhou Evergrande or the last-gasp winner against Beijing Guoan? Moments etched forever into Shanghai folklore, driven by their record goalscorer. For Shanghai Port fans, Wu Lei isn’t just a number maker; he embodies the soul and star power that brought silverware and glory to their stadium. His statistics are testament not merely to prolific finishing, but to a player who gave everything for the badge.
