KEIR RADNEDGE REPORTS: Robert Lewandowski is narrowing the gap on leader Mohamed Salah in the latest ranking of the ESM European Golden Shoe.
Poland’s captain, winner two seasons ago, is now only two goals behind the Liverpool forward with Sporting Lisbon’s Victor Gyokeres back up to third.
Marksmen from the Big Five (England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain) benefit from a points multiplier of two. Players in leagues between places six and 22 of the UEFA national ranking 2022 receive a 1.5 coefficient.
As in former years the ranking does not include play-offs or cup matches in the official ranking.
