Ronaldo’s form on the pitch has been absurd of late, and his tallies in La Liga this year show no signs of regression for the 31-year-old.

Ronaldo’s goals against Sporting Gijon brought him to 50 over the course of 2016 for club and country, a mark he’s reached for an astonishing six years straight now.
