5 attackers who could beat Lionel Messi to the Champions League Golden Shoe this season

#1 Robert Lewandowski

The Bayern Munich striker is enjoying yet another phenomenal goal-scoring season

Who would top the list if not this deadly sharpshooter that has set Europe ablaze with his explosive displays in front of goal? Robert Lewandowski has been one of the best finishers in the continent for almost a decade and only appears to be getting more clinical as he adds more years to his age.

The Polish striker has been taking down opposition defences mercilessly in the Champions League and can send the ball into the back of the net almost at will. He's sending a message across too - he's aiming for the Golden Shoe.

Lewy currently sits atop the UCL top scorer's chart alongside Erling Haaland with 10 goals to his name. However, he's played one game less than the Borussia Dortmund sensation. He will be eager to continue his decent goal-scoring run when Bayern Munich lock horns with Chelsea in their Round Of 16 encounter next week.

The striker is in a promising position to beat Messi in the Champions League Golden Shoe race and he'll surely fancy his chances.
