Like this it is the classification of the Boot of Gold 2018-19: Europe expects to the big leagues

After one of the last stops of selections of the year, the clubs went back to earn leadership, and one of the inducements of the weekend was the battle by the Boot of Gold. As it is usual, the start of the career by the trophy has left some surprises, that have caused that some fans little habituados to the course of the international football have remained boquiabiertos.

The Brazilian Liliu, of the Nomme Kalju of the Meistriliiga, or what is the same, the league of Estonia, leads the competition with 30 points. In this case, they translate in 30 goals for the forward, since the multiplicador of his championship is of 1 (in function of the difficulty oscillates between 2 for the big leagues, 1,5 and 1, as in this case).

But it is not the only stranger of the list, since they follow him other footballers of some lower tournaments. Patrick Hoban, of the Dundalk Irish, is second with 29 points (29 goals); by in front of Paulinho, of the BK Häcken Swedish, that carries 28,5 points (19 goals); and of Zakaria Beglarishvili, of Flora Tallinn estonio, that adds 26 points (26 goals); and Roman Debelko, of the Levadia, also estonio, that reaches equally the 26 points (26 goals).

This revolution in the candidates to the award has his explanation, and is that it has to to the desfase between some lower leagues and the greater of the old continent. While Spain, England, Italy, Germany and France still are in the first stretch of the course, in other countries already approach at the end, what involves that his maximum scorers still have something of margin on the usual strikers and more known of the world.

Although they also have his own disclosures, the mentioned competitions have go in his artillerymen stood out to Krzysztof Piatek (9 so many), Kylian Mbappé (9), Cristian Stuani (8) or Neymar (8). Besides, there is an important group with 7 targets, in which they are Luka Jovic, Paco Alcácer, Leo Messi, André Silva, Nicolas Pépé, Florian Thauvin, Jonathan Bamba, François Kamano, Emiliano Room and Eden Hazard.

The injury of Leo Messi, osbtáculo to revalidate the Boot of Gold

The valid champion is Leo Messi that demanded the edition 2017-18 with 34 goals, and that in this will have to trace back after an injury that will leave him several weeks of drop. For the moment it is very situated in the group of the multiplicador maximum, and is not the first time that splits with disadvantage without that this suppose him a worry. The one of the FC Barcelona always is ready, and in his way to the collective titles, those that more matter him, is able to aim some individual.
