2025 Golden Shoe Ranking: Gyökeres storms into the lead with brutal goal 'poker' against Boavista

The contest for the 2025 Golden Shoe is heating up and promises to continue offering exciting surprises as the 2024-25 season draws to a close. In this context, after the last matchday of football, one of the great goalscorers of European football has taken the lead in the fight for the award: Viktor Gyökeres.

The 26-year-old Swedish 'killer' has had a brilliant weekend with Sporting CP, demonstrating his goalscoring voracity in the 'Leões' 0-5 victory against Boavista. In that match, Gyökeres signed an impressive 'poker' (four goals), which allowed him to reach 38 goals and become the leader of the Golden Shoe table with a total of 57 points, even with three matchdays pending in the local championship.

Close to the Swedish '9' is the right winger of Liverpool, Mohamed Salah, who in the 5-1 victory of Liverpool against Tottenham Hotspur, a triumph that sealed the 20th Premier League for the 'Reds', converted a goal. This allowed him to reach 56 points, with four dates still to be played in the domestic championship.

Robert Lewandowski: His status in the race for the 2025 Golden Shoe

In third place is the Polish gunner Robert Lewandowski, who currently plays for FC Barcelona. Although he is injured, the Warsaw native accumulates 50 points after scoring 25 goals in the season, with five matchdays remaining in LaLiga EA Sports, although his participation remains in doubt due to the physical setback he is experiencing.

Lurking in the third place are two 'killers': Harry Kane of Bayern Munich and Mateo Retegui of Atalanta. The English '9' failed to score in Bayern Munich's 3-0 victory against Mainz 05, while the Italian-Argentine did score a goal in the 1-1 draw between the 'Dea' and Lecce, both with 24 goals in their respective leagues. With this record, both players add 48 points.
