Mbappe and Salah's final bid to claim the Golden Shoe

• Kylian Mbappe and Mohamed Salah are competing for the Golden Shoe.
• Viktor Gyokeres is leading with 58.5 points.
• Weekend matches might change the standings.

The upcoming matches in Spain and England are crucial for Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain and Mohamed Salah from Liverpool. Both players have the opportunity to surpass Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon in the Golden Shoe rankings, a prestigious award for the top scorer in European leagues.

Viktor Gyokeres leads with a total of 58.5 points, having scored 39 goals. His score is calculated based on a coefficient that considers the strength of the league. Mbappe, with 29 goals, has 58 points, while Salah, with 28 goals, has 56 points. Both players still have a chance to improve their scores in the upcoming matches.

The last player to win the Golden Shoe without benefiting from the maximum coefficient was the Brazilian Mario Jardel. He achieved this with Sporting Lisbon in the 2001/02 season when he won thanks to 42 goals (63 points).

Weekend matches could bring changes to the standings. Mbappe and Salah have their last chance to improve their scores and surpass Gyokeres. Will they succeed in winning the Golden Shoe? We'll know the answer soon.

The rules for the Golden Shoe standings are quite simple. The trophy goes to the player with the highest number of goals, with the number of goals multiplied by the league coefficient. The stronger the league, the higher the coefficient.
