Golden Shoe 2021-22: Lewandowski, Salah & Europe's top scorers

Robert Lewandowski seems to go from strength to strength at Bayern Munich&nbsp;and, even at the age of 33,&nbsp;is showing no signs of slowing down. The striker is the defending holder of the European Golden Shoe and could very well win it two years in a row. He hit the ground running during the start of the 2021-22 Bundesliga campaign and has maintained momentum through the season.

Robert Lewandowski | Bayern Munich | 35 goals (70)

Kylian Mbappe struck 27 goals in Ligue 1 last season and now has the added assistance of Lionel Messi to tee him up at Paris Saint-Germain. The France star endured a slow start to the campaign, but will undoubtedly expect to be there or thereabouts when it comes to the end of the season.

Kylian Mbappe | PSG | 28 goals (56)

This season has been one for the marked resurgence of Karim Benzema, with the Real Madrid veteran still proving an enormous asset to his team.

Karim Benzema | Real Madrid | 27 goals (54)

Lazio star Ciro Immobile scored a whopping 20 goals in Serie A last season as they finished sixth in the table, and will no doubt try to best his record. Now a European Championship winner with Italy, the striker will be eager to push for a higher finish in Serie A this year.
