Ronaldo’s highest scoring season in 4 years not enough for Golden boot award

Cristiano Ronaldo has made winning a habit throughout his illustrious career, whether collective or individual.

The Portuguese superstar’s goalscoring feat cannot be overlooked.

The former Real Madrid forward picked up 3 La Liga top scorer awards during his time in Spain, including 4 European Golden shoe awards throughout his career.

However, one goal scoring award seems elusive, the Serie A Golden boot.

Since joining Juventus in 2018, Ronaldo has failed to pick up the award in two attempts.

The just ended season saw Ronaldo register 31 goals in 32 league games – his most in a single season in the past four years.

2016/2017 – 25 goals in 29 appearances 

2017/2018 – 26 goals in 27 appearances 

2018/2019 – 21 goals in 31 appearances 

2019/2020 – 31 goals in 32 appearances

But he still fell short, losing the title to Lazio’s goal scoring machine Ciro Immobile, who bagged 36, equalling the all time Serie A record.

The 35 year old’s quest to become the first player to win the golden boot award in 3 of Europe’s top 5 leagues, after previous triumphs in England and Spain, hence continues.
