Messi finally bows to Ronaldo as the king of goals in 2018




European football season continues across Europe as the tough winter period starts. All other Leagues are preparing to take a Christmas break but Premier League will carry on as usual. UEFA Champions League and Europa League final group games will be played next week. The two will also take a break until February 2019.

Today, as the year comes to a close, we want to recognize 6 best scorers in 2018 alone.
6. Cristhian Stuani- 23 Goals in 30 Apps (La Liga)

Girona striker Cristhian Stuani is the sixth best scorer in 2018 alone. The Uruguayan forward has netted 23 goals in 30 La Liga matches so far this year. In 2018/19 season, the 32-year-old has scored 11 goals.
5. Luis Suarez- 24 Goals in 32 Apps (La Liga)


Barcelona fans were worried when Lionel Messi was ruled out for three weeks with a shoulder injury. However, Luis Suarez saw this as a great opportunity to show the Catalans he can also lead from the front with big goals in crucial matches.

He scored a hat-trick against Real Madrid in a 5-1 Clasico victory at Camp Nou. In 2018 alone, the forward has netted 24 goals in 32 La Liga matches. This season, the 31-year-old has found the net 9 times and assisted 4 more goals.
4. Florian Thauvin- 25 Goals in 31 Apps (Ligue 1)

Olympique Marseille winger Florian Thauvin does not get all the headlines in France but he is more effective in front of goal than PSG trio of Mbappe, Neymar and Cavani. The Newcastle United flop has netted 25 goals in 31 Ligue 1 appearances in 2018 alone.

3. Mbaye Diagne- 28 Goals in 31 Apps (Turkish Super Lig)


Kasimpasa might not be so familiar to many football fans outside Turkey but if you know President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, then you know the team because their Stadium is named after him.

The reason we are talking about the team is because of their striker Mbaye Diagne who has netted 28 goals in 31 appearances in 2018 alone so far.
2. Lionel Messi- 28 Goals in 31 Apps (La Liga)


La Liga 2017/18 top scorer Lionel Messi is ranked second on this list with 28 goals in 31 League appearances in 2018 alone. In 2018/19 season he has netted 9 goals. The five times World Player of the year finished 5th in 2018 Ballon d’Or race which was a shock for many people but maybe he is starting to decline. Let us not forget he missed several matches due to a shoulder injury sustained against Sevilla in October.
1. Cristiano Ronaldo- 32 Goals in 29 Apps (Serie A)


Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo is not about to slow down any time soon. The 33-year-old winger joined the Old Lady from Real Madrid last summer and he continues to score goals. This season so far, he has scored 11 goals in 18 matches so far. This takes his tally in 2018 alone to 32 goals in 29 League matches for both clubs. However, the five times World Player of the Year will not be a happy man after watching Luka Modric beat him this year in the Ballon d’Or race. He will work hard to get the sixth with his new team.

Does this means Ronaldo is a better goal scorer compare to Messi?

Coronavirus: 'The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing'

"The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing," says Andrew O'Dwyer, who is recovering after being infected with the new coronavirus following a skiing trip to Italy in late February. "I've had worse flu, without a doubt - but I wouldn't want to catch it again," he says during his self-isolation at home in south-west London. Despite having type 1 diabetes, Andrew says having the virus "isn't anything to worry about for me personally". He adds that the fever he experienced is "no different to normal flu-type symptoms". "I've not been concerned," he says. The severity of symptoms can vary widely among people. Those who are older and have pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease) are more likely to become severely ill and can need hospital treatment. There have been 10 coronavirus-related deaths so far in the UK. Andrew was told the virus wasn't circulating in the resort ...

THE MASCARENE PARROT

The Mascarene parrot was 35 cm (14 in) in length with a large red bill and long, rounded tail feathers. Its legs were red, and it had naked red skin around the eyes and nostrils. It had a black facial mask and partially white tail feathers, but the colouration of the body, wings and head is unclear. Descriptions from life indicate the body and head were ash grey, and the white part of the tail had two dark central feathers. In contrast, descriptions based on stuffed specimens state that the body was brown and the head bluish but do not mention the dark central tail feathers. This may be due to the specimens having changed colour as a result of aging and exposure to light, as well as other forms of damage. Very little is known about the bird in life. The Mascarene parrot was first mentioned in 1674, and live specimens were later brought to Europe, where they lived in captivity . The species was scientifically described in 1771. Only two stuffed specimens exist today, in Paris and Vienn...
