The Capocannoniere is the award given to the highest goalscorer in a Serie A season and 13 different Juventus players have won the award so far.

Although Juventus have dominated the league in recent years, the last Juve player to win the Golden Boot in Serie A was Alessandro Del Piero way back in 2007-08.

Cristiano Ronaldo can end this dry spell and also break the record for most goals scored in a single Serie A season.

The record is currently shared by Gonzalo Higuain (in 2016 with Napoli) and Gino Rossetti (in 1929 with Torino) with 36 goals in a season.

While at Real Madrid, Ronaldo crossed the 36 goal mark thrice and averaged 1.06 goals per game in the league.

Considering this, if Ronaldo plays over 30 games, he has a very good chance of setting a new record. His best goal tally in the league in a season is 48 goals in 35 games in 2014-15.

The current record holder - Gonzalo Higuain, also played for Real Madrid and his best goal scoring season in the La Liga yielded 27 goals (in 32 games).

Ronaldo crossed the 27 goal mark in six seasons in the La Liga, and on the three occasions he didn’t - he played fewer than 30 games but still scored at least 25 goals.
