When you talk about the world's best of the best, Messi's name unarguably comes to mind. So far, he's the world's best and this is very vivid going by all indicators of football. Messi is a history maker, and currently cannot be compared to anyone because no leg can feat into the size of his shoe.
October 16 at the old beer factory of Estrella Damm has already been fixed as the day Messi will receive his Golden Shoe award. And this will take place at exactly 13:00 (CET). This is another great feat for Barca talisman.
The award is used to honour and recognise European footballer with highest goal in a single season. And in the most recent season, Messi was the top scorer in Europe after netting 36 goals in La Liga last season. His closest rival in this regard is Mbappe with 33 goals to his name.
Having won this Golden Shoes in the seasons 2009 — 10 with 34 goals scored; 2011 — 12 with 50 goals scored; 2012 — 13, 46 goals scored, 2016 — 17 with 37 goals scored and now 2017 — 18 during which he scored 34 goals; Messi remains the only player in the male category to have won this award six times, all with Barca! That's incredible!
Not just that, Messi also distinguished himself from the masses in another perspective. By virtue of his 50 goals in 2011 — 12, he holds the all-time record for goals scored in a single season.
The only player with records close to these feats, is Christiano Ronaldo who has won this particular trophy four times: in 2007 — 08, 2010 — 11, 2013 — 14 and 2014 — 15.
On the whole, I say congratulations to Lionel Messi
