La Liga 2016/17: Top 5 Contenders for the Pichichi Trophy

#3. Cristiano Ronaldo – 22 goals

Ad

Phenomenon. Miracle-worker. Superstar. Best big game player in the world. Call him what you will, but ignoring the importance of the great Portuguese to Real Madrid. His brace yesterday took him to 401 goals (in just 390 games!) and if it were not for the fact that he’s been rested against the lower table teams toward the end of this season he would easily be challenging for the Pichichi once again.

Factor in the fact that he had a very slow start to the season (as he recovered from that injury he suffered in the final of Euro 2016) and the fact that he’s already reached the 20 goal landmark speaks volumes of his ability to bounce back.

With two games left, and Ronaldo likely to feature in both he could well buff up those numbers before the season is out.
