La Liga 2018/19 Golden Boot: Top Contenders at the start of May 2019

#4 Cristhian Stuani (Uruguay, Girona) 🡻

Girona FC v RCD Espanyol - La Liga

Goals Scored - 18

The Uruguayan had a disappointing month of April, where he missed a game through muscle injury and scored just one goal in five games. Girona lost five of their six games in the month, and are in serious danger of slipping into the relegation zone. With just three games left, they sit at 17th place in the table, just two points ahead of Valladolid at 18th.

Stuani missed the first game of the month, a defeat against Atletico Madrid, through injury. He made a goalscoring return to the team in the following game against Espanyol, but it was not enough to secure victory. Since then, the Uruguayan has failed to score in his last four games. With the relegation battle intensifying right now, Stuani will need his goalscoring boots back immediately.

The Uruguayan has scored 18 goals from 31 games in La Liga so far and is averaging a goal every 147 minutes played. Even though he has no chance of winning the Golden Boot now, Stuani will be desperate for goals to help his team avoid relegation.
