The players who scored the highest percentage of their team’s goals.
With all the various different leagues across Europe having now ended for another season, we take a look at which players contributed the highest percentage of their team’s goals in the previous campaign .
10) Yaya Toure (Manchester City): 19.6% of City’s league goals scored last season
The Ivory Coast international played an absolutely key role in helping his side win their second Premier League title in the space of just three years last season with a number of barnstorming displays in the centre of the park.
And for a midfielder to net 20 times in just 35 league outings says all you really need to know about how the 31-year-old performed for the north-west outfit.
9) Daniel Sturridge (Liverpool): 20.8%
The Reds striker’s first full season on Merseyside also ended up being the 24-year-old’s best-ever campaign in front of goal in his entire career to date, with the England international managing to find the back of the net on an impressive 21 occasions in only 29 Premier League contests for his new team.
8) Robert Lewandowski (Borussia Dortmund): 25%
The prolific Poland international has just ended his final-ever campaign with Jurgen Klopp’s side before moving to Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich on a free transfer for next season.
The Bavarian giants will be happy that the 25-year-old is just as confident as ever in front of goal after netting 20 goals last season, which was a quarter of all his side’s top-flight strikes.
7) Ciro Immobile (Torino): 27.5%
The Italy international is be heading to last season’s Bundesliga runners-up Borussia Dortmund for next season after a fine campaign in front of goal for Torino in Serie A, with the 24-year-old’s 22 Serie A strikes accounting for more than a quarter of all his team’s goals in the Italian top flight last time around.
6) Lionel Messi (FC Barcelona): 28%
By all accounts the little Argentinian genius had his worst-ever goalscoring campaign with the Catalans last season, with the 26-year-old only managing to score 28 goals in his 31 La Liga contests for Barca, which still works out at almost a third of all the goals the Spanish giants scored in the league last time out!
5) Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid): 29.8%
The new Ballon d’Or winner more than lived up to his billing as the world’s best player last season, and even if the Portugal international’s 31 strikes in just 30 Spanish top-flight appearances were not enough to see Los Blancos win the league, the 29-year-old was still responsible for scoring nearly 30% of all his team’s league goals last season and won the Copa del Rey and Champions League.
4) Luis Suarez (Liverpool): 30.7%
No real great surprise to see the name of the Merseyside giants’ red-hot forward in this top 10 after the brilliant campaign the Uruguay international enjoyed with the Reds, with the 27-year-old netting over 30% of all his side’s Premier League goals last season, 31 in just 33 top-flight appearances, as Brendan Rodgers’s men finished as runners-up to eventual champions Manchester City in the league.
3) Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Paris Saint-Germain): 31%
The inspirational striker of the Ligue 1 champions was once again the big-spending Parisians’ main man as the club easily retained their French top-flight crown last season, with the 32-year-old’s 26 league strikes in only 33 matches working out as 31% of all the goals scored int he league by Laurent Blanc’s expensively assembled outfit.
2) Luca Toni (Hellas Verona): 32.3%
The veteran former Italy international, who won the World Cup with the Azzurri in Germany eight years ago, clearly has not lost hie eye for goal, despite the marksman now being 37 years of age.
And with 20 goals in just 34 Serie A outings in the previous campaign, the Italian was responsible for nearly a third of all his side’s goals scored in the league last time out.
1) Diego Costa (Atletico Madrid): 35.1%
It is safe to say that Atleti would not have won their first La Liga title for 18 years last season without the Brazil-born attacker’s 27 goals in 35 Spanish top-flight appearances, which works out at more than a third of all of the strikes netted by Diego Simeone’s outfit in the previous campaign.
