Lewandowski is holding off the challenge of Messi in top scorer race in 2019

  /  JaniceHo37

Robert Lewandowski is leading the race to become the top scorer playing in Europe for club and country in 2019 as he tops a stellar cast including Lionel Messi, Raheem Sterling and Kylian Mbappé with just a few games to go.

The Bayern striker finished third behind Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo last year but has turned the tables this time after passing a half century of goals. Barring an incredible run lower down the list, the only man who can deny Lewandowski is a certain Barcelona forward.
