Ronaldo with 5 goals, but I kind of dislike the fact that he scores so many penalties all the time. It feels like it distorts the true top scorer list. He has always been scoring a good chunk of his goals per season with penalties. I am not sure but I think there was a time when penalties didn't count to the overall total, am I wrong?

It is indeed a fact that some goals are scored on penalties but it can't be denied it's still a goal every country can do the same so there's nothing strange there it's normal unless only Portugal can get a goal from a penalty that might be weird.

It is a goal, yes but think about this: if the number of goals is supposed to determine the best scorer during the championship, someone with four penalties outcompetes someone with three free kick goals from 30 yards and more. To me the free kick goals are way more impressive than the penalties, yet Ronaldo is going to win the award because he scores all these penalties. I just dislike that, not sure if you guys agree but it bores me to see someone getting an award for scoring the most penalties over someone maybe scoring three or four outrageous dream goals.
