Ronaldo expected to score most goals this season

Striker Cristiano Ronaldo of the Real Madrid is expected to demonstrate his best-ever peak performance to re-write world soccer history.

On Sunday, Ronaldo scored the first goal in the second minute of the first half during an away match with FC Granada in Granada in the 2014-2015 season in Spain’s Primera Liga. Real Madrid pushed ahead with the goal and won 4-0. This victory pushed up Real Madrid to first in the league with eight wins and two losses (24 points).

On the other hand, FC Barcelona, which had been in the lead, lost to Celta de Vigo 0-1 and sank to third, amid Lionel Messi’s slump in goal-getting, falling behind even Atlético Madrid, which had 23 points.

Ronaldo’s performance this season is nothing short of astounding. He has scored in all of the nine matches he played this season. He has scored hat tricks in a whopping three matches. Now with 17 goals, he boasts of stunning goal-getting ability with 1.89 goals per match. Leading the number of goals scored in the league, Ronaldo has far surpassed his rival Messi, a third scorer with seven goals.

With this success streak, Ronaldo is highly likely to set the largest number of goals at a Primera Liga season. The record is 50 goals set by Messi in the 2011-2012 season. With 28 matches left of the league matches, Ronaldo may score more than 60. He has just two goals to break the UEFA Champions League of the most number of goals by one player. Ronaldo has scored 70 so far and is close to the 71-goal record held by Raúl González. Given that he has scored every match, it is a matter of time before Ronaldo breaks that record.

Ronaldo, who is enjoying the peak of his career with supreme talent, is also highly anticipated as the winner of the FIFA Ballon d`Or next year.
