5 players who could score more goals than Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in 2018

#3 Edinson Cavani

Arsenal FC v Paris Saint-Germain - UEFA Champions League — He is a man on fire

When he was plying his trade in Palermo, everyone saw a future goal-machine in the Uruguayan. After that, Napoli quickly snapped him up—and that is where the machine was slowly reaching its best. After scoring 104 goals from only 138 games for the Naples outfit, he moved to France to Ligue 1 giants, Paris-Saint Germain for a fee of around €64 million.

But then he couldn’t really shine due to the presence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. While nobody would like to claim it, Ibra’s presence made it difficult for Cavani as he had to attack from the wings. However, after his departure, the Uruguayan has been in supernatural touch from the centre.

So far this season, he leads the European Golden Boot race with 19 league goals under his belt. In totally, he has scored 25 goals this season and, with Neymar and Mbappe playing beside him, there is no sign of him stopping anytime soon.
