Messi scores another goal, but Mbappé stays in the running for the Golden Shoe | international football

However, Messi played only 17 games and keeps an incredible average (1.11 goals / match on 10 badists) which allows him to be isolated in front, before Mbappé, author of 18 goals for Paris Saint -Germain in the championship of France.

The Golden Boot race takes into account the importance of each national league. Since last season, the French have gained two weight and Mbappé now adds 36 points, including two Argentineans, winner of the last two editions. In the worst league in Europe, the goal is 1.5 or even 1 point.

Uruguayan Cavani, also from PSG, completes the podium. the Egyptian Salah of Liverpool; and the Italian Quagliarella of Sampdoria charged with equaling Gabriel Batistuta's record at the Championship of Italy. All are with 16 goals (and 32 points), but the ranking uses as number of equal breaks the number of games – the least, in this case, the best.

My favorite Messi is also the biggest winner of the Golden Shoe, five times, one more than Cristiano Ronaldo, this year a little further from the fray, only sixth with his 15 goals for Juventus (30 points).

Mbappé is already fighting for his first prize as top scorer in a European national championship. The only Frenchman to win the trophy was Thierry Henry twice in the 2003/04 and 2004/05 seasons for Arsenal.

At the moment, the best ranked Brazilian, in sixth place, is the unknown Liliu, champion and top scorer of the Estonian championship with Nömme Kalju, with 31 goals. As your league is only a weight, your goals are 31 points. Liliu even dominated the Golden Boot ranking until last December, but she has no chance of winning, as the season in Estonia is now closed.

Neymar, victim of a new fracture at the fifth metatarsal of the right foot, s' parked in the 13 goals (and 26 points) of the PSG.
