One has to wonder.. If Higuain scores 36, surely Ronaldo and Messi would score 40 too?

They certainly would for a team like Napoli that plays pretty close to all out attacking football.
I think people often neglect the style of play a team has. It's what made C. Ronaldo's numbers so impressive under Mourinho... It also made Dybala's numbers this year and Tevez's last year, very impressive, under Allegri.
It's not always about the league one plays in, as Juventus is incredibly dominant in Serie A... We dominate by suffocating opponents and keeping clean sheets, and even our forwards are asked to sacrifice to this end.
Higuain this year, Messi, C. Ronaldo, Suarez, Ibra at PSG... these players rarely place a foot in their own half in league games. Barca, Madrid, PSG... they dominate their opponents by scoring...
Now part of that is these players make it worthwhile to play all-out attacking football, but as you can see by Juventus dominating Italy, and Atletico's results in La LIga the past few years, a brilliantly organized, defensive style can give these attacking teams fits.
