Cristiano Ronaldo’s hopes of finishing as Europe’s top scorer were dealt a blow as he failed to score as champions Juventus were beaten by Cagliari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ronaldo has scored an incredible 31 Serie A goals this season but found himself frustrated on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Luca Gagliano’s close-range finish and Giovanni Simeone’s powerful drive secured the win for the hosts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ronaldo trails Lazio striker Ciro Immobile by four goals in the battle for Europe’s Golden Shoe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Immobile scored his 35th goal of the season as Lazio beat Brescia 2-0 on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With one game of the Serie A season remaining, Immobile is the outright leading scorer in Europe as his latest strike moved him ahead of Bayern Munich’s Robert Lewandowski, who finished the Bundesliga season with 34 goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Immobile is also just one goal away from equalling the Serie A record for most goals in a season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gonzalo Higuain scored 36 times for Napoli in the 2015-16 campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
