Playing at Real Madrid was the first miracle in my life. At a club like Madrid there is no excuse. If you have big dreams, you must work hard and should be equivalent to the level of the club. Being a professional is not the only sweet words. You have to do that and show it to the world. "

There is no other purpose , CR7 concerned to secure the two degrees, namely the Pichichi ( Spanish league top scorers ) and the European Golden Shoe .

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.

If Cristiano Ronaldo did not score in the final game , then he will share the trophy with Suarez . This is not a new thing in the history of the European Golden Boot . In 1990 , Hugo Sanchez and Hristo Stoichkov equally get the trophy with a score of 38 goals . Similarly, in 2005 when Thierry Henry and Diego Forlan pack 25 goals .

Liverpool are still leading the Premier League standings with a total of 80 points , but the position will not mean much for the Reds when Manchester City are three points behind them continue to win the rest of the season . Even if Liverpool can continue to win games the rest , City remain the leading teams in the hunt for the Premier League title on goal difference .

Liverpool currently collecting 80 points from 36 games and followed that Chelsea had 78 points with a total of the same game . City itself was still in third place with 77 points, but the new collection plays 35 games . While the existing goal difference , Liverpool has a surplus of 50 goals ( 96-46 ) , Chelsea surplus of 43 goals ( 69-26 ) , and the City is much better between them with a surplus of 58 goals ( 93-35 ) . That means , if City can win their three games then the final point total owned Manchester City is 86 points . Likewise with Liverpool that would collect 86 points if you can win in their last two games , but if things do not change , then the City will be champions this season with a goal difference better than Liverpool . Certainly not a difference of eight goals in the competition a little distance as restrictive as the Premier League .

So , what should be done by Liverpool to change the situation ? There are at least two ways to be able to play for Liverpool this time the situation is actually even harming them after losing to Chelsea by a score of 0-2 .

The first is to defeat two opponents the rest of them are Crystal Palace and Newcastle United with a goal as much as possible , hoping City can only edged out their opponents . By doing so , Liverpool hopes to have a better goal difference than City .

Second City is hoping to slip in their remaining games . Liverpool Hope is still there because next week the City will travel to Everton , the team still has an interest gain entry to the Champions League next season . While the other two opponents are the rest of the City Aston Villa and West Ham United , two teams who feels too much can not be expected to tackle by Liverpool City .

Chelsea? Although it is ranked second , their championship chances are actually much thinner than the Liverpool and City . If both competitors were winning games remaining , Chelsea actually had to go down to third , whatever results they achieved in the last two games .

Here are the top three candidates champions Premier League 2013-2014:

NO	Team Name	P	W	D	L	F	A	GD	Pts
1	Liverpool	36	25	5	6	96	46	50	80
2	Chelsea	36	24	6	6	69	26	43	78
3	Manchester City	35	24	5	6	93	35	58	77

Here is a picture of the final position of the three teams in the final standings Premier League, assuming all three have always won with a score of 1-0 over their respective opponents in the remaining games this season:

NO	Team Name	P	W	D	L	F	A	GD	Pts
