Top contenders for the European Golden Shoe: March 2019

#4 Cristiano Ronaldo (19 goals – 38 points)

Cristiano Ronaldo has dropped to 4th in the European Golden Shoe race

For the second month running, Cristiano Ronaldo has dropped in the race for the European Golden Shoe. The Portuguese was scoring for fun in January but has been struggling for some time now.

At a point, Ronaldo was just two goals behind Messi but the decision to rest him for three consecutive Serie A games seems to have affected his goals.

The 34-year-old has also been overtaken as the league’s top-scorer, but he is definitely bound to return stronger as he has always done.

#3 Fabio Quagliarella (21 goals – 42 points)

Fabio Quagliarella is still a potent striker at 36

The man of the moment is Fabio Quagliarella. Despite being 36, the Sampdoria striker is still very lethal in front of goal.

The former Italy international is the top-scorer in Serie A this season, netting an impressive 21 goals and contributing seven assists.

February was a very good month for Quagliarella, who managed five goals to move to 3rd in the race for the European Golden Shoe.
