Some interesting facts and figures from Europe's top five leagues

#2 A 35-year old Fabio Quagliarella leads Serie A scoring charts

While the Golden Boot rankings change almost on a weekly basis, former Italian international Fabio Quagliarella currently leads the race for Cappocannoniere in Serie A with 16 goals in 20 appearances so far.

And he will turn 36 before the start of February. Let that sink in first.

A very under-rated forward, the 'Mr. Hitman' is like that old wine that's just got better with age. This is in fact, his best start to a season since 1994/95 and also equaled Gabriel Batistuta's record of scoring in 11 consecutive games after bagging a brace against Udinese in the last game.

With another six assists to his already incredible stats, he has accounted for 56% of Sampdoria's goals in the league and the cardinal factor that's driving them to an improbable Europa League spot.
