Lionel Messi Wins Fourth Golden Shoe by Nobody: 11:13am On May 23, 2017 |
Leo Messi continues to break records in
insatiable fashion. The Argentine adds a
fourth European Golden Shoe award for
top league scorer on the continent
thanks to his 37 goals in 34 games in
2016/17.
The Barça number 10 takes the prize
ahead of Sporting Lisbon striker Bas Dost
who scored 34 goals during the season.
Following the top two come Borrusia
Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick
Aubameyang on 31, Robert Lewamdowski
of Bayern Munich on 30 and Harry Kane
of Tottenham Hotspur one behind on 29
where we also find another Barça player,
Luis Suárez.
Fourth Golden Shoe in eight years
This is the fourth time in eight years that
Leo Messi has won the European Golden
Shoe. His first came in 2009/10 with a
total of 34 goals; two seasons later he
claimed the award with a record breaking
50 goals in the league in one single
season. In 2012/13 he once again ended
the season as top league scorer in
Europe with 46 goals. Messi’s team mate
Luis Suárez has also won the European
Golden Shoe on two occasions: first with
his 31 goals for Liverpool in 2013/14 and
then last season with his total of 40 for
FC Barcelona.
The Argentine has also been crowned
‘Pitxitxi’ (top scorer in the Spanish First
Division) for the fourth time in his career.
That brings him level with Puskas and
leaves him one behind Quini, Di Stéfano
and Hugo Suárez and two behind all-time
leader Zarra.
500 goals with Barça and top scorer
Aside from being top in Spain and in
Europe, Messi has also reached 500
goals as a Barça player this season,
against Real Madrid in the Santiago
Bernabéu no less with his winner in the
last minute. In all competition this
season the Argentine has scored 53
goals, 37 in the league, 11 in the
Champions League, 4 in the Copa del Rey
and 1 in the Spanish Super Cup. |
