Top Scorers in European Football
As is customary at Fichajes.com, we start the week with a classification of the top scorers in the sport in the Old Continent. Currently, Ciro Immobile is the leading scorer in Europe, as he is guiding Lazio in this statistical facet to sign an outstanding season in Serie A. While he may feel disappointed for his team's early elimination in the Europa League, the main goal for Simone Inzaghi's troops will be to qualify for the 2020-2021 Champions League.
Next, we have Robert Lewandowski, who has slightly reduced his average at Bayern Munich, although maintaining the scoring pace he had at the start of the season was practically impossible. Following the Polish striker is the great hope of the German national team, Timo Werner, who has been linked with Atletico Madrid, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Real Madrid. And what can we say about the magnificent season that Cristiano Ronaldo is having - considered by many experts as the best killer of all time - at Juventus Turin.
We cannot ignore the relevance of Jamie Vardy, who, thanks to his years of experience and international career, continues to be a true reference for Leicester City. Nor should we forget the campaign of Sergio Aguero at Manchester City, in addition to the presence in this prestigious list of Alexander Sorloth, Romelu Lukaku, Junior Moraes, and Papiss Cisse, who have surpassed Lionel Messi from Barcelona in the ranking this week.
