Barcelona talisman Lionel Messi remains the leader in the race for this season's European Golden Shoe after a two-goal outing against Celta Vigo helped him take his league goal tally for the 2016-17 campaign up to 23.

That total means the Blaugrana wizard sits one goal ahead of Torino frontman Andrea Belotti (22) and two ahead of Borussia Dortmund ace Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (21), who netted a brace against Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday.

Paris Saint-Germain marvel Edinson Cavani remains the highest scorer in the Golden Shoe standings with 27, but Ligue 1's lower point multiplier means he remains fourth with 40.
