Golden Shoe 2018-19: Top Goalscorers in Europe, Latest Points on January 28

Lionel Messi kept his spot as the outright leader in the race for the 2018-19 European Golden Shoe after netting for the seventh La Liga game in a row in Barcelona's 2-0 win at Girona on Sunday.

He now has 19 league goals for the season, but Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappe is hot on his heels with 18 in Ligue 1.

There was no Premier League action at the weekend, so Liverpool's Mohamed Salah remained on 16 goals, and he was joined by PSG's Edinson Cavani, who netted a double in a 4-1 win against Rennes, and Sampdoria's Fabio Quagliarella.
