The World’s Best Goal Scorer 2020 at November 30:
Lewandowski still on top but Haaland and Ronaldo have chances
Robert Lewandowski’s advantage got shorter for November, from +7 goals to +3. Erling Haaland had a prolific month with 9 goals; could have scored more if he hadn’t missed two games for Norway in League Nations. Being in such a perfect form and having 6 games in December program (4 in Bundesliga, 2 in Champions League), the prospect to catch up with Lewandowski looks realistic.
Also Cristiano Ronaldo, 5 goals down to the leader, has yet small chances to win this award; Juventus are to play 7 games in December.
It’s worth to mention that Nikita Rukavytsya, currently 12th in the ranking, continues his amazing scoring series which lasts since August 16. An Australian of Ukrainian origin didn’t leave the pitch without goals in 12 games in a row. The record of season worldwide!
All goals in the official competitions, domestic and international, scored from January 1, 2020 to November 30, 2020, are summarized.
In the case of equal number of total goals, priority is given to international goals, then to those scored for national team and finally to ones scored in domestic league.
NL – National League
