Ruud Van Nistelrooy - 0.74

The Dutch footballer, Ruud Van Nistelrooy, rose to fame when he joined PSV Eindhoven with his massive 75 goals in 91 games. An immensely skilled striker, Nistelrooy then played with clubs like Manchester United (after he caught the attention of Sir Alex Ferguson) and Real Madrid. Although his career was affected by injuries on multiple occasions, he was one of the most formidable players in his active years as a professional player. A goals-per-game ratio of 0.68 puts him just a little above Ronaldo. His most impressive run, was probably at the UEFA Champions League at 60 goals in 81 games, bringing the ratio to a stunning 0.74 making him one of the top scorers in Europe.
