Suarez is only 1 goal behind Ronaldo in the Golden Boot race.

After Barca beat Deportivo 8-0, Luis Suarez is only one goal behind Cristiano Ronaldo in the race for the La Liga top scorer title and European Golden Shoe.

With effective support from his teammates and a return to brilliant form, Suarez scored four goals against Deportivo in the match on the evening of April 20.

Suarez currently has 30 goals since the start of the 2015-2016 La Liga season, while Ronaldo has 31. From seemingly being on the verge of winning the Golden Boot and Top Scorer title for the third consecutive year, CR7 may have to face fierce competition in the remaining four rounds.

If counting the number of goals in all competitions since the beginning of the season, Suarez has regained the leading position with 49 goals. Ronaldo fell to second due to two fewer goals.

Last season, due to having to sit out for many months in the beginning, Suarez only scored 16 goals in La Liga. This season, the Barca striker wearing the number 9 shirt only needs two more goals to double that figure.

After less than two seasons at Barca, Suarez has 74 goals in 91 games. He needs eight more to equal his tally of 82 goals for Liverpool in 133 games (from 2010 to 2014).
