#1 Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal, Juventus)

Cristiano Ronaldo

Goals scored - 10

It is impossible to keep this man away from the Golden Boot race in any country. After winning the Golden Boot in both the Premier League and LaLiga, Cristiano Ronaldo has his eyes on the prize in Serie A, and aims to be the first man ever to become the top scorer in 3 different leagues.

The Portuguese started the season slow, failing to score in his first 3 games. However, he has scored 10 goals in his last 11 games since, including 6 in his last 6 games. He currently has 10 goals from 14 games in the Serie A, and 11 goals from 18 games in total.

After losing out on both the Ballon d'Or 2018 and FIFA's Best Awards this year, Ronaldo will have a point to prove now, and will be extra motivated to leave a mark in Italy during his very first season.

The Portuguese currently averages a goal every 125 minutes in the Serie A, and he has registered 71 shots so far, the most in the league. 39 of those have been on target, once again, the most in the league!

If he continues his form till the end of the season, records will topple, and as of now Cristiano Ronaldo is the #1 Contender for the Serie A Golden Boot at the start of December.

Join us again next month, as we follow the developments and reshuffle the list at the start of the year.
