#1 Cristiano Ronaldo's incredible form in 2018
Could there possibly be a more decisive factor at the moment? Especially after what we witnessed in the Champions League this week?

With 18 league goals this calendar year, the Portuguese ace has stormed back in the race for Golden Boot out of nowhere. He's scored in each of his last 9 appearances in all competitions and only trails great rival Lionel Messi by four goals for the Pichichi trophy.
After another talismanic performance against the Bianconeris, Ronaldo is brimming with confidence and would be chomping at the bit to add another big name to his scoring charts for the season. That in itself should see him go on to play an influential role in the match.
