Devastating start! Lewandowski, the best Pichichi in the major European leagues

FC Barcelona is enjoying the best version of Robert Lewandowski this season. After a complicated 2023, the Pole has once again been the usual 'killer' under the orders of Hansi Flick and is already the top Pichichi of the five major European leagues. With his hat trick against Alavés (0-3), the player from Warsaw scored 10 goals in 9 games played in LaLiga, with 4 goals ahead of his closest pursuer (Ayoze Pérez, with 6).

After the game, Flick praised the '9' present, making clear his confidence in the experienced forward. "I knew him from his time in Munich. He's incredible. He's the best in front of the goal, in the box. What he does is fantastic. He's always ready to score. I'm happy because it's three more points. And for 'Lewy', but everyone has supported him," explained the German coach in the post-match press conference.

Haaland and Kane, in the shadow of Lewandowski in Europe

At the moment, Robert leads the fight for the European Golden Boot (10 goals in the League and 2 in the Champions League) with a slight advantage over Erling Haaland and Harry Kane. The Norwegian has 11 goals in 10 games for Manchester City, 7 of them scored in the Premier League and 2 in the Champions League. Furthermore, the '9' scored 1 goal in the Community Shield with Pep Guardiola's team. The English forward, for his part, has scored 10 goals in 8 duels with Bayern Munich (5 in the league, 4 in the Champions League and another in the Pokal).

More discreet are the statistics of Jonathan David and Kylian Mbappé, fourth and fifth in the table of top European scorers so far. The Canadian has 8 goals in 13 games with Lille, 1 of them against Real Madrid in the Champions League, along with 5 goals in Ligue 1 and another couple in the qualifying phase of the Champions League. The brand new 'Merengue' reinforcement, on the other hand, has 7 goals in 11 games (5 in LaLiga, 1 in the Champions League and 1 in the European Super Cup).

This is how the fight for the 2024/25 Golden Boot goes
