#3 Ronaldo is a proven goalscorer with a lethal drive for competition
Ronaldo's repeated inclusion in the conversation surrounding football's best goalscorers is well-earned as he has proven himself to be an unstoppable goal machine even at the age of 35, with records, numbers, and accolades to back his immeasurable form.
The Portuguese talisman registered 118 goals in all competitions during his six-year spell at Manchester United and multiplied his tally exponentially when he moved to Real Madrid as he netted 450 goals for the club to become their all-time top scorer. The former Sporting Lisbon man has recorded 54 goals for the Old Lady in all competitions so far and is set to further increase his unprecedented numbers in the years to come.
Ronaldo's ability to upset the odds and his never-ending pursuit of individual and combined success, coupled with the motivation he derives from scrutiny and snubs, also serves as one of the primary reasons why he could surpass Immobile to win the Serie A Golden Boot at the end of the ongoing campaign.
