Watch out, Cristiano. Luis Suarez is closing in.
The Barcelona striker helped quell his side's recent run of poor form on Wednesday, scoring four times in an 8-0 obliteration of Deportivo, and in the process thrust himself right back into what was, prior to today's action, developing into a one-man race for the Pichichi.
Ronaldo, sitting atop the heap on 31 tallies, now only leads the Uruguayan by a single strike, as Suarez came into Wednesday's contest at the Riazor with 26 La Liga goals to his name.
In addition to finding the net four times, Suarez recorded three assists on the day, capping off one of the most dominant individual performances the Spanish top flight has ever seen.
Slump? What slump.
