Vintage goalscorers: Luis Suarez, Lewandowski and Cristiano Ronaldo

Robert Lewandowski leads the Bundesliga in scoring with 23, Luis Suarez is the joint-top scorer in LaLiga Santander with 12 and Cristiano Ronaldo's 15 goals are more than anyone else in Serie A.

What else do these three have in common? All are over 30 years old, with age proving to be just a number for these vintage goalscorers.

The date on their passports might take its toll on their speed or power, but not their finishing, which remains as deadly as ever.

Lewandowski, 32, leads the race for the European Golden Boot and has an incredible record of 1.4 goals per game for Bayern Munich.

Suarez, 34, with 0.8 goals per game for Atletico Madrid in LaLiga Santander is proving he still has a lot more to offer and could be in the hunt for the Pichichi in Spain, despite Lionel Messi still being in the league.

Cristiano, 35, remains insatiable in his hunt for goals and is a real lifeline for Andrea Pirlo's Juventus with his average of a goal every Serie A game.

Another curious thing that these marksmen have in common is that their goals have invariably come from inside the box.

The trio have 50 league goals between them this season, with only two of those - both scored by Lewandowski - being from outside the area.

Lewandowski also leads the way in headed goals with four and penalties with five; Cristiano has scored four penalties and Suarez just one, although he put it away in some style with a Panenka against Eibar.

The dominance of the 30-plus brigade isn't seen elsewhere, however, with the leading scorer in England being Mohamed Salah (28), Kylian Mbappe (22) in France and Pedro Goncalves (22) in Portugal.
