5. Neymar – Barcelona
Goals: 13
Games: 15
La Liga: 11/11
Champions League: 4/2
Neymar has started the season in explosive form, especially in La Liga where he has bagged an impressive 11 goals in 11 games. As his partnership alongside Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez continues to grow then it is likely that his goal tally will, too.
4. Karim Benzema – Real Madrid
Goals: 13
Games: 16
La Liga: 11/8
Champions League: 5/5
It’s often easy to forget about Benzema with Ronaldo and Bale either side of him, but after his rocky form last term he has made a strong recovery this time around, most notably in the Champions League where he has hit five in five.
3. Lionel Messi – Barcelona
Goals: 17
Games: 18
La Liga: 13/10
Champions League: 5/7
Messi has been in subdued form by his own his standards this season, but nevertheless he has hit an impressive number across both competitions already. Already on double figures in terms of goals in La Liga, he has scored more goals than games he has played in Europe already.
2. Sergio Aguero – Manchester City
Goals: 19
Games: 19
Premier League: 14/14
Champions League: 5/5
The Premier League’s sole representative on this list has been in explosive form so far this term as he looks to help City defend their title from a strong Chelsea outfit. However, it’s his form in the Champions League that has added to his prowess, and he has helped fire City to the verge of qualification to the next stage.
1. Cristiano Ronaldo – Real Madrid
Goals: 24
Games: 17
La Liga: 12/20
Champions League: 5/4
Who else was it going to be? Ronaldo is virtually winning La Liga on his own with an astonishing 20 goals in 12 appearances already. Unstoppable, he seems to be getting better with age and shows no signs of slowing down.
