Ranking the top 5 contenders for the European Golden Boot at the moment (March 2022)

#3 Dusan Vlahovic (Juventus) – 40 points

Atalanta BC v Juventus - Serie A

Over the last couple of seasons, Dusan Vlahovic has attracted the eyeballs of almost all the leading clubs in Europe. This season alone, he has scored 20 goals in Serie A and is now the third-leading goalscorer across the top-five leagues with 40 points.

Out of his 20 goals, three have come for Juventus and the remainder for Fiorentina.

Rising through Partizan’s youth system, Vlahovic’s claim to fame came during his time at Fiorentina. The Serie A outfit allowed him to unlock his potential and become one of the sharpest forwards in the business. Unfortunately, Fiorentina didn’t realize that the Serbian would reach the ceiling so soon.

In a shocking turn of events, Vlahovic signed for La Viola's’ rivals Juventus for an €81.6million fee in the winter transfer window.

He has settled in nicely in Turin and has heavily contributed to Juventus’ 12-game unbeaten run in the league.

#2 Patrik Schick (Bayer Leverkusen) – 40 points

1. FSV Mainz 05 v Bayer 04 Leverkusen - Bundesliga

Bayer Leverkusen ace Patrik Schick has easily been one of the most underrated strikers this season. The Euro 2020 joint-top scorer has kept his head down and focused on his craft, and the result is in front of our eyes.

In 20 Bundesliga matches, the Czech has scored 20 goals and provided three assists, establishing himself as the second-leading goalscorer across the continent’s top-five leagues.

However, Schick is unlikely to maintain his position in the rankings over the next few months due to a recent, rather serious injury.

The second-leading scorer in the Bundesliga has torn a muscle fiber in his left calf, which has ruled him out for several weeks.

#1 Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich) – 56 points

Eintracht Frankfurt v FC Bayern München - Bundesliga

Sitting at the top of the summit is a familiar name, one who is the current holder of the European Golden Boot.

Bayern Munich’s Robert Lewandowski is currently the leading scorer in Europe with 28 goals (56 points) and is proudly marching towards another well-deserved Golden Boot.

The Polish striker has not scored the flashiest goals, but his finishing, as usual, has been clinical. His ability to read the game takes him into favorable positions and his finishing effortlessly takes care of the rest.

The current "Best FIFA Men’s Player" award winner has featured in all 24 Bundesliga games for Bayern this season, scoring in 18 of them.

He has six braces and two hat-tricks to his name so far, and we expect him to improve upon the tallies over the coming weeks.
