He won the Golden Shoe last season and Lionel Messi is very much in the race to win the award in the 2018/19 campaign as well.
With his goal against Celta Vigo on Saturday evening, the No.10 moved onto 15 league goals for the season and is now just one effort behind top spot.
The Golden Shoe table rates goals differently depending on the league scored in.
Since Messi is playing in a top league like LaLiga Santander, each of his goals earn two points, so he has 30 total points.
Goals scored in the Estonian league, where Nomme Kalju striker Liliu plays, are only worth one point, which is why he is just a point ahead of Messi despite having scored 31 times so far.

"Golden shoes is better than Ballon d'or because it is determined by goals and not by votes, Stats don't lie..." Cristiano Ronaldo Piatek is the king of Farmer's League tho! Ronaldo needs to work harder to be at Piatek's and Nicolas Pepe's level!
