Robert Lewandowski is leading the charge in European football’s top scorer charts, with an impressive 26 goals in 27 games for Barcelona. The Polish striker, 36, has shown no signs of slowing down, and his goalscoring rate has been instrumental in Barcelona’s success this season.
Lewandowski’s impressive form has drawn praise from his former Poland teammate Tomasz Kuszczak, who recently described him as one of the greatest players of all time. “If you judge the whole career, not spells of a career, Lewandowski is the best player in the world of all time,” Kuszczak said.
Harry Kane is closely following Lewandowski in the top scorer charts, with 22 goals in as many games for Bayern Munich. The England captain has been in prolific form, with four hat-tricks already this season. Kane’s goalscoring rate has been instrumental in Bayern Munich’s success, and he will be looking to continue his form in the coming weeks.
Mohamed Salah, Erling Haaland, Omar Marmoush, and Raphinha are also among the top scorers in Europe, with 21 or more goals each. Salah, who has scored 21 goals in 29 games for Liverpool, is currently leading the European Golden Shoe race, with 18 goals in the Premier League.
Salah’s uncertain future at Liverpool does not seem to have unsettled the Egyptian, who has been in impressive form this season. His contract runs out in six months, and Salah can sign a pre-contract with foreign clubs now to join on a summer free transfer.
Interestingly, the actual top scorer in Europe is Sporting and Sweden striker Viktor Gyokeres, who has scored 32 goals in 30 games. However, because the Portuguese league is ranked seventh in Europe, Gyokeres’ goals are not weighted as heavily as those of the other top scorers.
The European Golden Shoe is awarded to the top scorer in Europe’s top five leagues, and the competition is heating up. With several top players vying for the award, it promises to be an exciting finish to the season.
As the season progresses, fans will be keeping a close eye on the top scorers in Europe. With Lewandowski, Kane, Salah, Haaland, Marmoush, and Raphinha all in contention, it’s anyone’s guess who will emerge as the top scorer in Europe.
