The Gods of Football

[Jangle]

Usually at the start of a season, a coach will set a target number of goals for his top player to achieve. For any good striker, that number is usually around 20 goals in his respective league. In the case of the two Gods of Football, which, make no bones about it, we are blessed and privileged to witness in our lifetime, Ronaldo and Messi, that target is "how much over 30 goals can you score this season?"
