The Netherlands international has been on fire all season in the Primeira Liga and could beat the Argentine star to Europe's top goalscorer award
When Lionel Messi, Robert Lewandowski and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang opened their respective seasons with seven goals between them, it seemed a gripping race between the trio for the European Golden Shoe was underway. Although the Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund stars sit high up on the list as the campaign nears its end as predicted, their race has been disrupted by an unexpected but determined Bas Dost.
“I'm going to give my all to beat Lionel Messi,” he said this week, currently sitting second to the five-time Ballon d’Or winner in the continental goal chart, two goals behind.
