Robert Lewandowski is in pole position early on in the race for the European Golden Shoe, an award given to the best goalscorer in Europe.
The Polish striker did not score in FC Barcelona’s 3-1 win over RCD Espanyol, but he is still in first place.
The Golden Shoe is given to the player with the most goals in Europe, multiplied by league difficulty factor.
With 14 goals in La Liga, which has a 2x multiplier, he has 28 points in the Golden Shoe standings. Alex Tamm of Kalju FC in Estonia has 27 goals, but with only a 1x multiplier, he is in second place.
