• Why has Ronaldo only managed 21 league goals this season?

• How many goals would he have scored if he wasn’t playing for Juve?

Short THREAD below about how clinical Ronaldo has been this season. RT’s appreciated

Ronaldo has looked clutch, like he’s been scoring from nothing this season. He feels very undersupported by Juve’s poor midfield.

Let’s start by looking at goals, big chances missed and conversation rate from these big chances of top players:

If we use Ronaldo’s conversion rate if he played in the following teams:

Bayern: 37 goals in 49 BC
Lazio: 32 goals in 42 BC
Leipzig: 31 goals in 41 BC
Dortmund: 30 goals in 40 BC
PSG: 28 goals in 37 BC
Leicester: 26 goals in 34 BC
Barca: 23 goals in 31 BC

This is a direct comparison to if he was in the big chance positions that other top players were in.

If you also consider Ronaldo has a better attacking position and off the ball movement than maybe any other player in history, we’d expect this number to increase even more.

Let’s combine these goals with the games played by the original player and extrapolate that to a 34 game season:

In essence, had he kept his big chance conversion up, he would be having a positive G/G and winning the golden boot if he played with a proper midfield.

If he had played for Bayern, he could have equalised Messi’s 50 golden boot in less games at the age of 35.
