Today, with a notch 31 goals , Cristiano Ronaldo can not be pursued anyone in La Liga . The closest competitor is only Lionel Messi ( 28 goals ) and Diego Costa ( 27 goals ) . And the convergence of Barca and Atletico in La Liga last weekend , it seems impossible to see King Leo scored four goals or breaking goalkeeper Jose Pinto Costa five times .

That is, unless a miracle happens , chances CR7 Pichichi title almost absolute . However , another when talking with the European Golden Shoe . Notch 31 goals Cristiano Ronaldo is currently the same as Luis Suarez in the Premier League . Both perform equally well in the elite European leagues so that their coefficients are multiplied by two.
