The race for the Golden shoe is on with Harry Kane facing a tough competition to retain his title. Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe are among the very best strikers in Europe who are also vying for the title.
Kane won his first European Golden Shoe title last season, scoring 36 times in his debut campaign for Bayern Munich. With his stunning performance, he did not get a team trophy, what he craved after leaving Tottenham.
That total of 36 goals and 72 Golden Shoe Points was the same as Haaland had a year before. The Manchester City and Norway forward won his first Golden Shoe crown that season.
Mbappe will like to win the Golden Shoe for the first time after moving from PSG to Real Madrid ahead of this season, as he looks to bounce back from a disappointing Euro 2024 campaign.
With the international break now over, club football is set to return. Barca hope Lewandowski can overcome a minor injury suffered on Poland duty in order to play Sevilla in La Liga on Sunday, while Haaland and Man City face Wolves, a team he usually fares well against, on the same day.
