Lewandowski's 14 goals this UCL season are tied for the fourth-most goals in a single season (tied with 2011-12 vintage Lionel Messi).

So, ahead of the final two game-weeks in Serie A, we've decided to look at the European Golden Shoe standings to see who finished where and what Ronaldo needs to do to bag the trophy. Full stats of both … Points: 56. The Argentina international will want to add to his four previous Champions League titles, especially with Barcelona missing out on the LaLiga title and potentially ending the season trophyless. Without further ado, using statistics from Transfermarkt, the current top ten can be seen below: Those well-versed in the machinations of the European Golden Shoe will know that players outside of the continent's top five leagues have a 1.5 point coefficient as opposed to two. Everton eyeing late swoop for Championship striker, Arsenal: Mesut Ozil hasn't changed since 2013, but the rest of football has, Premier League: The best XI currently outside the big six. That being said, with all due respect, there's a big differnece between top-scoring in the Swiss Super League and the divisions churning out Champions League winners.

He scored four times against Red Star in the group stages back in November and also hit doubles against Chelsea and Tottenham. Messi scored 25 goals as Barcelona missed out on the LaLiga title to rivals Real Madrid. But it's that consistency that has elevated Ronaldo above the likes of Messi, Lukaku and Werner, only going four Serie A fixtures without scoring a goal in the entirety of 2020. Thirty-four league goals is undoubtedly impressive, but it's at risk of being surpassed by Immobile and it's his record in all competitions of 51 goals from 43 games that really stands out for us. Chelsea fans will be rubbing their hands together at … What happened to the winner of ‘Football’s Next Star’ who signed for Inter Milan? Lewandowski has now scored 100 goals in the Bundesliga for Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena, their home stadium. The Bayern Munich forward again leads the way in this race with an incredible 34 goals in just 31 games as he helped his side win the Bundesliga. The 2019/20 campaign saw his best ever league goal tally but it is remarkably the third time he’s broken the 30 goal mark in just six seasons at the Bundesliga club. Liverpool's Diogo Jota scores twice and gets an assist for Portugal against Sweden. But Golden Shoes and Golden Boots aside, let's not allow the odd goal or two to take away from the fact this has been an incredible season for Ronaldo and further proof that he's one of the greats. And with the Bundesliga, La Liga and Premier League halted, while Ligue 1 has been cancelled, all eyes are now on Immobile and Ronaldo to see who can conquer Italy and Europe in turn. Ronaldo would need to score three more Serie A goals and hope that Immobile draws a blank in his clashes with Brescia and Napoli in order to share the title with the Italian and Lewandowski. Lewandowski got there by trying and trying and trying -- he is, in fact, the first player since Edin Dzeko in December 2009 (for Wolfsburg against Freiburg) to have had 13 shots in a single Bundesliga match. Despite his remarkable achievements on the pitch – his career total is 425 goals in 618 games – he still struggles to get the recognition he probably deserves in the era of Messi and Ronaldo. Barcelona do not scare me.”. But it was his worst league goal tally since the 2008/09 campaign. Timo Werner (RB Leipzig) Goals: 28. Germany World Cup winner Lothar Matthaus thinks that Lewandowski should now be considered the best player in the world. There were reports of a bust-up between the players and manager Quique Seitan and Messi even publicly criticised those higher up at the club. You need a calculator and some good mental maths to worth out Haaland's points this season, having scored 28 of his goals in the Austrian Bundesliga with the awkward 1.5 coefficient. Bayern have yet to lose a game in 2020 as they look to secure the treble. But to keep the trophy all to himself, Ronaldo will need score four more goals than whatever Immobile can manage, which is no easy feat with just two fixtures left to play. That was actually against Bayern back in 2013 when he was a Borussia Dortmund player. There’s plenty of time for some Messi magic with three potential games to go. That's because Ronaldo has gone from strength to strength during the 2019/20 campaign in Turin, thrashing home 35 goals in 44 appearances with 31 of those strikes coming in Serie A.

Lukaku was named Man of the Match for scoring a brace during the 3-0 win at Genoa over the weekend, so will be hoping to pick up where he left off in upcoming ties with Napoli and Atalanta. Speaking to Bild, he said: “Messi faces his successor as the best player in the world: Robert Lewandowski. Lionel Messi is having a relatively quiet season in the Champions League with just three goals and three assists to his name. He’s still some way off Ronaldo and Messi who have 130 and 115, respectively. And if that was indeed the case, it would have to go down as one of Ronaldo's greatest ever achievements - to outscore the man who would have been the Ballon d'Or favourite at age 35. © 2020 Sports New Media Limited. He is the best player, not just the best forward. One of three Serie A players on the list, which means that former Manchester United striker Lukaku still has scope to move up the ranks and it wouldn't be a shock considering his form at San Siro. And just as it looked as though his goal-scoring form had started to dry up in 2020, Immobile was quick to silence the haters by going on a run of five strikes in just three games since July 20.

Ronaldo & Messi: Which record scorer from FIFA's top 27 nations has best goal-to-game ratio? I don't think so, but let's just say I wouldn't be surprised if he did. The highest he’s ever finished in the Ballon d’Or is fourth in 2015 but rarely gets talked about as a contender for the top prize. As you can see, Ronaldo faces something of an uphill battle during his final Serie A games, but at least he now knows that overthrowing Immobile would also see him usurp Lewandowski in tandem.
