Barcelona's Lionel Messi took another step toward his sixth European Golden Shoe on Saturday as he bagged a brace against Espanyol in the Catalan derby.
His only realistic rival for the award remains Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe, who continued his bid with his 27th Ligue 1 goal of the campaign.
Behind them, Sergio Aguero, Robert Lewandowski and Duvan Zapata each moved onto 19 league goals for the season in the Premier League, Bundesliga and Serie A, respectively.
Here are the standings as of April 1:
