This season, Diogo Jota of Liverpool has become the top Portuguese goalscorer in Europe's top five divisions.
That follows his FA Cup victory over Nottingham Forest, which saw him leapfrog Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo.
In Europe's top five leagues, Diogo Jota has surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo as the best Portuguese goalscorer.Jota, 25, has been in sensational form for Liverpool after joining from Wolves for £40 million in 2020.
In his first season under Jurgen Klopp, the dynamic forward scored 13 goals.
Jota, on the other hand, has already had 19 strikes this season, with two months of football remaining.And Jota has now surpassed Ronaldo as the best scorer in the Portuguese league this season.
After scoring a magnificent match-winning hat-trick against Tottenham just over a week ago, Ronaldo, 37, had been riding high on 18.
However, he is now one strike behind Jota in the statistics.
And between now and the end of the season, Ronaldo will undoubtedly be keen to strike the target on a regular basis.
His most recent goal came in Liverpool's FA Cup quarter-final match against Nottingham Forest.
However, the veteran is still three goals ahead of the second highest scorer in Portugal, RB Leipzig forward Andre Silva.
Valencia's Goncalo Guedes, who has 13 goals in all competitions this season, is second with 15 goals.
Rafael Leao (11), who is chasing the Serie A title with AC Milan, is the fifth highest.
Bernardo Silva of Manchester City and Bruno Fernandes of Manchester United aren't far behind the attackers, with 10 and nine goals respectively.
