Cristiano Ronaldo: 5 Things To Expect For Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund

2. Expect Him To Win The European Golden Shoe

ron Considering Lionel Messi is unlikely to play in the Champions League final on the back of his side's 4-0 capitulation against Bayern Munich, Ronaldo is everyone's favourite to win this season's European Golden Shoe Award. The Portuguese' has scored 11 European goals throughout this campaign, that's three more than Messi, making him the best bet for the prestigious honour. But finishing as the Champions League top goalscorer this season isn't enough for Ronaldo, not by any stretch of the imagination. The Portuguese' is but three strikes away from tying Messi's 14-goal exploits in Europe last year, and what a feather it would be in Ronaldo's cap if he could smash another of his arch rival's records. As the duo compete for the right to call themselves "world's greatest", Ronaldo could put one more point next to his name tonight as a reason why he should be considered the best.
