Cristiano Ronaldo’s start to the 2017/18 campaign couldn’t have been more underwhelming. He slipped, stuttered and was in abysmal goalscoring form. It really couldn’t have gone any worse. Ronaldo was even written off in several quarters.
However, he kept scoring goals in the Champions League. And since the turn of the year, he started scoring goals for fun in the La Liga.
In fact, his exploits ensured a 3rd placed finish in the Spanish top flight. His electric form in the Champions League earned Real Madrid a hattrick Champions League trophy. Simply put, ever since he found his goalscoring boots, there has been no looking back for Cristiano Ronaldo.
He even scored that wonder bicycle kick against Juventus which earned him an applause from the Juve fans in the stands. Moments like that are reserved for true champions only.
Without further ado, let’s take a look at 3 reasons why Cristiano Ronaldo is leading the Ballon d’Or race.
1.Better goal ratio than Lionel Messi
2.Top Champions League goalscorer by quite a margin
3.Won the Champions League
