?The departure of Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus has definitely left a huge void at Real Madrid and that fact is most evident now as no ?Real Madrid player exists until the 232nd rank when it comes to goalscorers across Europe in contention for the European Golden Shoe award.

As per stats released by ?Transfermarkt, currently there are 232 players ahead of any Real Madrid player that comes in contention for this award.



Karim Benzema is currently Los Blancos' top scorer in LaLiga with five goals.That means the French striker is tied in 233rd position with 10 points with several other players (all those above that have 10.5 points or more).



Even more worrying is the fact that the ?second highest top scorer for Real Madrid is defender Sergio Ramos with four goals (eight points), something which signifies the attacking issues that the reigning European champions are facing.

After having registered one of their worst starts to a season, including a humiliating Clasico defeat to rivals Barcelona, the Madrid club sacked then-boss Julen Lopetegui and has since replaced him with Santiago Solari as the club attempts to gather itself from the huge void left by Ronaldo at the club.

Madrid are currently fifth in the Spanish La Liga's points table, five points behind league leaders and league favourites, FC Barcelona.
