Golden Shoe 2019 Messi vs Ronaldo or Mbappe

Lionel Messi has been so dominant this season. He is the leading goal scorer in all main leagues. Messi scored 45 goals in 43 matches so far in this season. So without any doubt Lionel Messi is the main contender for the European Golden Shoe award but beside Messi who is second in the list?

Well usually only one name comes in mind which is Cristiano. Because from last decade Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are the two players who are dominating for all football titles. But it looks like  Ronaldo is out from the race of  European golden shoe award. Cristiano Ronaldo scored 25 goals in 39 games this season so far. He is 20 goals behind Lionel Messi which means he is out from the race. If Ronaldo is not second in the list than who is ?. So if we look at the states then the only name appears is the french man  Kylian Mbappe. PSG star scored 37 goals in 42 games.

Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe are having an interesting battle of goals for European golden shoe award. Well right now, Messi is leading with three more goals then Mbappe  and both Messi and Mbappe have few matches left  this season. These matches will decide who will be awarded European golden shoe award. Lionel Messi has all three competitions (Laliga, UEFA Champions league and Copa del Ray) right now and he is focused to win all of them. whereas Mbappe have only League 1 matches ahead. So, Messi has more matches in hand but it might be possible that Messi remains on bench in few Laliga matches before Champions league Semi finals. Valverde would not like lose Lionel Messi due to injury. Messi already has won five European golden shoe awards and this con be his sixth golden shoe.

Coming few matches will decide that who will be awarded Golden shoe. Here is the list of remaining matches of both players.
