Despite the general consensus that Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo has
had a poor year, the Portuguese superstar has maintained a fantastic
goalscoring record.
The 30-year-old completed 2015 with a brace in Los Blancos' victory
over Real Sociedad on Wednesday to take his goalscoring average to a
goal a game, having netted 57 times in 57 matches.
There is no denying that Ronaldo has not been at his best in 2015,
while Real Madrid failed to win any silverware and were completely
outshone by eternal rivals FC Barcelona, who won five trophies,
including the treble.
The strike partnership of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar has been
lethal this year, and helped the Catalans overtake Real's record for
the most goals in a calendar year.
However, Messi and Suarez, with 48 strikes each, finished 2015 nine
goals off of Ronaldo's final tally, while Neymar managed 41 goals.
The Portugal captain is also the joint second highest goalscorer in La
Liga this season so far, along with Neymar, having scored 14 times.
He also scored 11 goals in six Champions League group stage matches, another record.
So while Ronaldo will be disappointed with his performances in 2015,
and Lionel Messi remains favourite to win the Ballon d'Or, there is no
questioning that the Santiago Bernabeu man's eye for goal is as good as
ever.
