It is for the European Golden Shoe, and if you go further back you start getting into dodgy territory where fat blokes were scoring 50-60 goals a year, different ball games these days.
So he's got 8 games to score 16 goals. Might be just beyond him but he'll come close. It's amazing what he's been doing in the last couple seasons.
It is but in a way it also shows how dominant these teams have gotten.
Bayern wins every match with huge numbers and he gets a lot of chances to score.
Its still amazing though given his consistency and age but the numbers are getting skewed to make strikers look much greater in this day and age than those of say 15-25 years ago.
It shows the evolution in nutrition and conditioning in sports but is also a testimony of the strongest clubs getting stacked and richer/stronger while the competition gets weaker.
Apart from epl due to the money and Barca and Madrid now having weak spells its a trajectory that eventually leads to a superleague. Its inevitable since they need it to compete with epl and the competitions will be done woth same winners every year crushing the competition with huge figures.
There will be more Lewa type stats from strikers in non epl leagues in the future.
Not to downplay the guy cause again he is great. But he isnt way better than R9, Henry, Batistuta or Eto'o for example.
Its more logical that the stats relate to the increasing dominance of top teams.
