The Boot of Gold seemed an impossible dream for Leo Messi​ does only some weeks, but the Argentinian seems to have stepped the accelerator and is recortando little by little put in the fight by this prestigious individual trophy. The '10' of the FC Barcelona was quite far when it finished the 2020, but since it began the 2021 has improved a lot his numbers and every time is more near of the ones of up.

The captain barcelonista sum with his last doublet against the Alavés a total of 15 goals in League. This figure does him empatar with Erling Haaland in the position number 12 of the ránking, since the Norwegian adds the same so many. Romelo Lukaku, Kylian Mbappé, Cristiano Ronaldo and Luis Suárez, that right now wins to Leo in the Pichichi of LaLiga, are a target by in front and all carry 16 in what it goes of course.

Georgios Giakoumakis, of the VV Come it, is in the seventh position by in front of all the footballers mentioned. The attacker is being one of the big disclosures of the Eredivisie, perhaps the greater, and has annotated a total of 22 goals in the Dutch championship until the moment. When adding 1,5 points therefore and no 2, as in Spain, Germany, France, Italy and England, for being a league considered inferior, has to conform with the seventh place.

In the sixth place there is another player that adds only 1,5 points by target, the Nigerian of the Genk, Paul Onuachu, that has marked 22 so many in Belgium. By in front of him it finds Mohammed Salah, that is being of the few positive things of the Liverpool this campaign in the Premier. The Egyptian has put 17 goals in England, what does him add 2 points by each one and therefore it is to the doors of the 'top 5'.

Lewandowski Dominates this Boot of Gold

André Silva, that is going out in Germany with the Eintracht of Frankfurt and that has woken up the interest of several big, is fifth with 18 goals. Amahal Pellegrino, of the Kristiansund, has put 25 and is fourth, but when adding only 1,5 points by target can not aspire to remain further up. The same him sucede to Kasper Junker, of the Bodo Glimt, that has marked 27, but that is to 7,5 points of the head.

Robert Lewandowski, that was about to to win the Boot of Gold the past season, but that finish remaining to two goals of Ciro Immobile (36 to 34), leads of way imparable this list. The Pole is going back to do a campaign sensacional in the Bundesliga and sum already 24 so many, what does him be enough above the rest of favourites. Messi will have to tighten a lot of in what it subtracts of course if it wants to compete him the award to the of the Bayern.
