Top Contenders for the Serie A Golden Boot - February 2019

#1 Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal, Juventus)

Juventus v Parma Calcio - Serie A

Goals Scored - 17

The Portuguese had taken a strangle hold of the race at the end of the year and was expected to push on after the winter break. He had all the ingredients to build on his impressive start and Cristiano Ronaldo has done just that

Ronaldo started the new year with a 3-0 win over Chievo Verona at home, a game where he failed to score a goal, missing a penalty. However, he redeemed himself in the following game against Lazio, scoring an 88th-minute winner from the spot.

Yet the stage was set for him to shine last weekend at home against Parma, where he scored twice and set up another to cap a fine individual performance, even though his team drew the game.

The Portuguese is averaging a goal every 112 minutes played so far this season and has registered 0.77 goals per game. He has recorded a league-high 107 shots so far, with 58 of those on target. With 17 goals from 22 games, Ronaldo is once again the top contender for the Serie A Golden Boot at the start of February.
