Ciro Immobile arguably had his best-ever year in club football, as his 36 league goals in the campaign - the joint-most in an Italian top-flight season - helped Lazio to a creditable third-place finish.

The 30-year-old Lazio marksman has had a relatively quieter start to his 2020-21 league campaign, notching up 'only' ten goals.

However, Immobile has now tallied an impressive ten or more goals in each of his last five league campaigns in the Italian top flight and has scored in 13 of his last 14 games.


#2 Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich) - 32 goals

Robert Lewandowski has outshone the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi to emerge as the hottest marksman in world football.

The prolific Pole, who scores goals for fun, amassed 34 in the Bundesliga last season and 55 in all competitions to help Bayern Munich to their second continental treble.

This season, Lewandowski has already plundered 19 league goals in only 13 games, as the Bundesliga's most prolific-scoring foreign player looks on course to beat Gerd Muller's record of most league goals (40) in a German top-flight campaign.


#1 Cristiano Ronaldo (Juventus) - 34 goals

Cristiano Ronaldo had a prolific scoring year in 2020 for both club and country.

After scoring 21 times in the league since the turn of the year to power Juventus to their ninth consecutive Scudetto, the 35-year-old Portugal captain is leading this season's scoring charts with 14 goals.

Earlier in the year, Ronaldo conjured his 100th goal for Portugal, becoming only the second player ever to do so in international football.

Ronaldo opened his 2021 campaign with a brace against Udinese as he looks determined to win the Capocannonieri after missing out on the same in his first two league seasons in Italy.
