Wish Immobile would just fuck off already; has any player ever been top scorer in all Top 3 leagues?

The sample size for that is really only 2 seasons though if we're just taking into consideration his Madrid years. Even then, he never played more than 27-29 league games in those seasons with Madrid focusing more on the CL which inadvertently meant he mainly played the stronger teams whenever he featured in the league so didn't have the opportunity to stat pad. Here in Italy, he plays both weak and strong and the outcome is the same - barely any service.
With a far more creative midfield and better Fbs, there's no doubt his volume of goals would increase dramatically.

Yup.
I hate do to it, but don't count penalties and you'll see the story:
His worst scoring season in Madrid ratio wise... was 2016/2017 with 35 non-penalty goals in 45 games. That's about 0.75 non-penalty goals per-game.
This season he has 20 non-penalty goals in 39 games.
Last season here he had 22 in 43.
So, still think he's doing fine?

In fairness he was left out of alot of those "easy" la liga games during zidanes time to be rested for Cl games. He is playing alot more here but your right he was never scoring 60 goals here thats just silly for people to expect that.
The only reason he is behind immobile in the scoring charts is mainly the midfield but also those couple of months he played injured early on this year which hurt him.

Yeah not to mention Madrid could afford to save him for the CL. In 2016/17 they somehow managed to win the league with Ronaldo in 29/38 games. He also came off the bench quite a few times that season.
Zidane was lucky to have such a powerful team, but also wise and courageous to manage CR7's playtime like that.

Lol cm'on, it's not as though we improved with him joining under Allegri. Juve last season was molested by Atalanta in the Copa quarters, went out to Ajax kids in the CL and had a lesser point tally than the 2018 season. The decline was clear. Though that's not to imply it was at all CR7's fault. Decline in the quality of overall squad performance (primarily midfield) was most responsible for that.

He's 35 and en route to beating the all time Juve record for goals scored in one season. The record was set in 1926 when some Hungarian striker scored 35 goals in all competitions. Ronaldo's at 30 goals with at least 8 matches to go till season's over, and possibly with 11 matches till the end.
Knowing him, he'll beat this record.
