Further down we find the Argentinian striker and captain of Inter Lautaro Martinez, the Belgian forward Lois Openda (Leipzig) and the Ukrainian forward of Roma now Artem Dovbyk (Girona last year) with 24 goals and 48 points each.

European Golden Shoe previous winners:


  • Between 1968 and 1991, the Golden Shoe was awarded solely to the highest goalscorer in any European league, regardless of league strength or number of games played. Eusebio, Gerd Muller, Dudu Georgescu, and Fernando Gomes each claimed the honour twice during this period.

Arsenal failed to maintain the euphoric atmosphere that existed after the imposing 3-0 win over Real Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. Their tank was almost... empty, stuck at 1-1 against Brentford, and now Mikel Arteta's team seems to be raising the white flag in the championship battle!.  Now Arsenal is turning its attention exclusively to the Champions League, where after the 3-0 win, it seems to have a big lead to qualify for the semi-finals of the top club competition in Europe, if not the world.
