6 players ahead of Messi

At the point when Neymar left Barcelona for Paris Saint-Germain for a world-record expense this late spring,
there was a desire on the rest of the individuals from 'MSN' to ensure his nonattendance didn't negatively affect the group.

Barca acquired Ousmane Dembele for £135.5 million yet the French youth pulled his hamstring in the opening couple of long stretches of the crusade, sidelining him for a considerable length of time.

So the duty fell on Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi to convey Barca's assaulting risk.

Tragically, Suarez is battling without Neymar and has scored only three objectives in 14 appearances this season.

Fortunately for the Catalan club, Lionel Messi is having a fairly staggering effort.

Twelve objectives in 11 La Liga matches - 16 of every 17 in all rivalries - has seen Messi get off to a flyer this season.

His objectives mean Barca are four focuses clear at the highest point of La Liga - eight focuses in front of Real Madrid.

Notwithstanding his begin, however, he faces intense rivalry to win his fifth European Golden Shoe.

The race for the European Golden Shoe

Here is the best seven:

1 | Ciro Immobile - 28 focuses

2 | Rauno Sappinen - 27 focuses

3 | Albert Prosa - 27 focuses

4 | Radamel Falcao - 26 focuses

5 | Edinson Cavani - 26 focuses

6 | Igor Angulo - 24 focuses

7 | Lionel Messi - 24 focuses

Who are Sappinnen, Prosa and Angulo we hear you inquire.

All things considered, both Sappinen and Prosa play in the Estonian group for FC Flora and FCI Tallinn individually.

In the mean time, Angulo - who is in front of Messi as a result of the quantity of objectives he's scored - plays for Górnik Zabrze in the Polish alliance.

However, in the event that you think playing in a lesser European class surrenders an unjustifiable preferred standpoint in winning the European Golden Shoe, you're off-base.

That is on account of their objectives are just duplicated by 1.5 to give them focuses. While, those players playing in a noteworthy alliance have their number of objectives duplicated by two.

That implies both Sappinen and Prosa have scored 18 objectives each, while Angulo has packed away 16.

On the off chance that the three players had done that in a noteworthy class, they would lead the race for the European Golden Shoe.

As it may be, it's Lazio's Immobile that leads the route after his 14 strikes this season.

Be that as it may, Messi makes them make up for lost time to do.

With the Argentine level with Cristiano Ronaldo on four Golden Shoe's, he will plan to make history by turning into the main player to have won five.
