3 forwards compete for the European Golden Boot: Mbappe is only 0.5 points away, Salah is 3rd, Kane is out

The mainstream European leagues are coming to an end, with Liverpool in the Premier League, Barcelona in La Liga, Bayern in the Bundesliga, and Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1 winning the league championship. However, the competition for the European Golden Boot is still hot, with Portuguese Sports's Dzekelish, Real Madrid's Mbappe, and Liverpool's Salah launching the final battle.

According to the ranking rules of the European Golden Boot, the top 5 European leagues - Premier League, Serie A, La Liga, Bundesliga, and Ligue 1, each goal is calculated as 2 points; in the European leagues ranked 6-22, such as the Dutch Eredivisie and Portugal Super League, the score coefficient for each goal is 1.5, and 1 goal in other leagues is calculated as 1 point.

The current competition for the European Golden Boots is showing a three-legged stalemate:

Portuguese Sports's Zhekelais scored 39 goals, 1 goal and 1.5 points, ranking first in the list.

Real Madrid's Mbappe has 29 goals in La Liga and 58 points ranked second.

Liverpool's Salah, with 28 goals in the Premier League and 56 points, ranked third.

The Bundesliga has ended, and Kane, who has 26 goals and 52 points, is sure to miss the European Golden Boot Award; Lewandowski, who has 50 points, and Retje, who has 50 points, basically miss the Golden Boot Award with only one league game left.

Portuguese Super League season has ended, and Zhekelais' European Golden Boot points remain at 58.5 points. Mbappe, who is only 0.5 points behind, still has hope of overtaking: in the La Liga finale on May 25, Real Madrid will face Real Sociedad at home. As long as one goal is scored, Mbappe's European Golden Boot will score 60 points, thus surpassing Dzekelish.

Liverpool's Salah has two Premier League games: challenge Brighton away and face Crystal Palace at home. The 32-year-old Egyptian superstar is also a strong contender for the European Golden Boot Awards. In the match with Brighton, if Salah scores twice, it will mean that the Golden Boot battle will change from a "three-legged match" to a "two-man turn", and Zhekelais will be completely eliminated.
