There is widespread anxiety in European football circles,
since the emergence of the emerging Coronavirus
(COVID 19), while some people are likely to cancel
competitions permanently, if the epidemic
does not subside soon.
And if health conditions do not improve in Europe, the
Argentine player, Lionel Messi, will lose the golden shoe
award presented annually to the one who scored the
most goals in Europe.
Messi will not receive the Golden Boot award, because
he is ranked sixth so far in the list of players who scored
the most goals in the Champions League.
Messi has already won the European shoe six times,
beating the Portuguese, Cristiano Ronaldo, who won the
award four times.
Bayern Munich player Robert Lewandowski tops the list
of players who scored the most goals in the current
season of the Champions League, with a total of 27
goals, while Messi has 19 goals.
But the Barcelona player, he did well in the Spanish
LaLiga and is top scorer with 19 goals.
In the second place, followed by Real Madrid player, Karim
Benzema, with 14 goals, then Barcelona player, Luis
Suarez, with 11 goals.
In the face of this balance, the Spanish newspaper
“Marca” described Messi as “the king” in Spain, “the
prince” is European, but the “flea” is still able to
compete for the two titles: the top scorer of the League
and the Champions League, if the matches are resumed
That was interrupted by the epidemic.
