The top 25 most clinical strikers in Europe in 2020 revealed with Cristiano Ronaldo behind two little-known forwards

CRISTIANO RONALDO is only the third-most clinical striker of 2020 - despite scoring 21 times.

The Juventus star, 35, has defied his age to put in another unreal shift since the turn of the new year, in spite of the three-month lockdown.

Despite that incredible record, Ronaldo ranks only THIRD in the list of the most-lethal forwards of 2020.

In fact, the two players to beat CR7 to the punch are both also in Serie A.

Atalanta ace Luis Muriel has thrived in their attack-minded system, scoring a goal every 61 minutes, netting eight times in 2020.

Sampdoria star Federico Bonazzoli has scored five times, just 77 minutes apart.

Then Ronaldo comes in third having scored every 81 minutes.

So while the Portuguese legend may have been firing the goals in all year, he's not been as efficient as his Serie A rivals.

Ronaldo sits level with Borussia Dortmund goal machine Erling Haaland with a goal every 81 minutes.
