Mohamed Salah fails to take the Golden Shoe in his record-breaking campaign. Messi wins the prestigious award with 34 goals, two ahead of Salah.

It was quite a race in Europe’s most elite leagues with the top five of the Golden Shoe race giving us a few surprises.

Your predicted top five would normally be, Romelu Lukaku [Manchester United], Lionel Messi [Barcelona], Cristiano Ronaldo [Real Madrid], Robert Lewandowski [Bayern Munich ], and Harry Kane [Tottenham].

Come May 2018, the five most prolific in front of goal across Europe are Messi, Salah, Harry Kane, Immobile, and Icardi, respectively.

The most notables on this list was the likes of Salah, Messi, and Icardi. All of whom which took their clubs to achieve great things this season.

All of them have done a job worthy of a spot on this top chat. What is the great these goal scorers did for their corresponding clubs during their fantastic runs?
