The international English forward of Bayern Munich, may not have managed to win a title in their first season in the Bundesliga, as this did not stop him from showing off his executive skills and dominating the battle for the "Golden Shoe".

Kane on Tuesday 27/8 in a special event at the Allianz Arena will receive from the European Sports Media Association (ESM) the prestigious prize.


Second behind Kane was the forward of Borussia Dortmund now, Serhu Guirassy (played last year in Stuttgart), who scored 28 goals and reached 56 points.


The two new great stars of world football, the Frenchman Kylian Mbappe (last year Paris Saint-Germain), who moved to Real Madrid this summer, and the Norwegian forward of the champion, England (Manchester City), tied for 3rd place with 27 goals and 54 points. Erling Haaland.


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.
  • A hiatus occurred from 1991 to 1996 due to a protest by the Cyprus FA. Since 1996/97, the award has been determined by a points system, favouring players in tougher leagues.
  • Goals scored in any of the top five leagues count double, encouraging competition among players in the higher-ranked leagues for the prize. Exceptions include Henrik Larsson (2000/01 Scottish Premier League) and Mario Jardel (1998/99 Primeira Divisao, 2001/02 Primeira Liga).
