The stats behind Ronaldo's least prolific Liga season at Real Madrid

Image
The Portugal international has scored just 25 goals this season in the league, marking the joint-least since his arrival in 2009 Cristiano Ronaldo has enjoyed another prolific season at Real Madrid, yet the Portuguese has fallen short of his usual standard of goalscoring. Indeed, as La Liga's season finale nears - Real play Villarreal this weekend before taking on Liverpool in the Champions League final next week - Ronaldo has scored 25 goals, his joint-lowest return in a league season since he joined the club in 2009. Ronaldo also scored 25 last season, though there is the caveat that this season also marks the Liga campaign with the least minutes. Even if Ronaldo completes the full 90 this weekend, he will have played just 2,230 minutes this term.
