As a result of the past weekend Messi, without going on the field, increased his chances of winning the Golden Boot. The Argentinean did not take part in the lost match against Barcelona with Levante (4: 5), but touched 34 goals scored, he had enough to stay in first place.

Lionel's main rival is Liverpool star Mohammed Salah scored his 32nd goal in the Premier League at Huddersfield, becoming the author of the largest number of goals for the season in the history of the championship of England. Nevertheless, the 38th round of the Premier League was over, which means that to fill up his scoring reserve and overtake Messi Salah will not be able to.

Lost chances to fight for the Golden Boot and Tottenham Hotspot forward Harry Kane, who scored twice for Leicester and completed the English campaign with 30 accurate strikes in the asset.

Since the championship of Germany also ended, the forward of Bavaria Robert Lewandowski was out of the fight, eventually stopping at the mark in 29 goals scored.

29 goals on his account has and forwards Lazio Ciro Immobile, who has one match left. Thus, in order to match the leader, Ciro must score in the gate of Inter in the next round of Serie A 5 goals.

The last who have theoretical chances to catch up with Messi, are the PSG strikers and Inter Edinson Cavani and Mauro Icaridi. Both have 28 goals in the account and one more match in the reserve. Thus, to get around the leader of Barcelona, ??each of them will need to distinguish 6 times.
