4 records Cristiano Ronaldo can break this season

#2 Most Serie A goals in a single season

The record for the most Serie A goals in a single season is currently held by Gonzalo Higuain, who scored 36 goals in the 2015/16 season while playing for Napoli. Higuain reached the figure in 35 games, even though he failed to score in 10 of those. While these are fantastic for the league, Ronaldo will be quietly confident that he can reach them this season.

Ronaldo has scored more than 36 league goals thrice in his career, all for Real Madrid in LaLiga. In the 2010/11 season, the Portuguese scored 40 goals in LaLiga, from 34 games. He followed it up with 46 goals in 38 games in the 2011/12 season. He then reached an incredible 48 goals from 35 games in the 2014/15 season.

While he is experiencing a slow start this season - scoring 7 goals in Serie A from 11 games so far, one cannot rule the Portuguese out just yet. With the help of the plethora of talent around and an enticing challenge calling out to him, Ronaldo most definitely will break this record this season.
