like him or hate him and even with his knack for missing sitters and fluffing his lines one can not deny and have to recognise how consistent he has been in Europe this season he has almost average a goal per game this season and it is only the great lionel messi that has matched him in the number of goals scored in top five leagues in europe this season with 27 goals as well.For most critics and fans alike the departure of zlatan ibrahovic would only spell doom for the club when it comes to getting goals,they may not emerge ligue 1 champions but cavani has proved himself more than a worthy successor to zlatan and he might be walking away with the Europen golden shoe at the end of the season.

cavani's brace agains guingamp took his tally to 29 in the league even lionel messi cant touch him right now.This is really huge for a player who is noted by followers of the beautiful game for his misses than his goal scoring especially when the second leg of UCL clash with Barcelona at the Nou camp comes to mind.

european golden boot rating says otherwise
