Golden Boot: Ranking the top 5 currently and predicting who will win it

#3 Fabio Quagliarella ( 22 goals x2: 44 points)

36-years-old and still outscoring a young Piatek and a poised Ronaldo: Fabio Quagliarella

Age is just a number and Quagliarella is living proof of it. He is ahead of many great strikers including Suarez, Aubameyang, Firmino, Hazard, etc. in the race to the Golden Boot. When Cristiano Ronaldo joined Juventus, many of us would have thought that he would be the automatic top-scorer. No sir, Fabio is well ahead, in fact, 3 goals ahead of the Portuguese star.

In 32 games with Sampdoria this season, Quagliarella has scored 22 goals and also got 8 assists. He currently leads the pack in Italy, just ahead of Krzysztof Piatek's 21 goals. Sampdoria has 5 more league games to play this season and the 36-year-old is expected to start in all of them. One of the league games, however, is against Juventus who have already been crowned the winners of the Serie A.

However, even though he might end up as the top scorer in Italy, that definitely won't be the case in Europe, because two other people are still far ahead. Let us move to them.
