Paris Saint Germain sharpshooter Kylian Mbappe is also one of the few players who could pip Messi to the Champions League Golden Shoe this season, courtesy of his clinical finishing and goalscoring record in the competition so far during the term.

The 21-year-old needs no introduction: he's been one of the most prolific attackers on the continent since he had his breakthrough season with Monaco in the 2016-2017 campaign. He finished as the top scorer in Ligue 1 last term and also bagged both the best player and the best young player awards in the French top-flight.

The Frenchman has recorded five Champions League goals from six appearances so far this season. With such a brilliant record, he is in a decent position to fight for the Golden Shoe at the end of the term. Who knows? He could even be the one to dethrone Messi in the race for the coveted accolade.
