10 league goals at this stage of season is actually very good, specially for someone who is also the main creator in the team. Also considering he suffered injury and missed some games earlier this season
He is not elite goalscoring threat yet but he is better than he was last season in this aspect, no doubt for me. He doesn't fuck up great chances as much as used to
If he bosses it this year in later CL stages and later world cup, at least they won't have the stats excuse to bring him down. Can only stick to trophies won, which they may as well do - because that's what ballon d'or is about, who won most trophies, not who was the best player
