This is how the classification of the Golden Boot goes

The Golden Boot It is the trophy that recognizes the top scorer in the top European leagues during the season. Robert Lewandowski he took the prize from the previous edition after scoring 41 goals in the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich, a number that also helped him break Gerd Müller’s record for most goals scored in a single season in Germany.

Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo they have eclipsed this award for years; the Argentine has won the award in 6 times (2009-2010, 2011-2012, 2012-2013, 2016-2017, 2017-2018 and 2018-2019) while the Portuguese has done 4 times (2007-2008, 2010-2011, 2013-2014 and 2014-2015). After this overwhelming dominance, other footballers are gaining strength in the scoring section and oppose to dethrone Lewandoswki, current leader of the classification with 28 goals.

Patrick Shicka Czech player for Bayer Leverkusen, is one of the surprises in this ranking as he ranks second with 20 goals, followed by Immobile from Lazio (19) and from Karim Benzema (18).

Marko Livajadel Hajduk Split crota y Ricardo Gomes, of the Serbian Partizan have also slipped into this classification. Both players play in lower level leagues and their goals do not count equally.
