The top 25 players in the race for the 2021/22 European Golden Shoe

Last Sunday evening, Karim Benzema was Real Madrid‘s match-winner once again.

The French striker scored a dramatic stoppage-time goal at Sevilla to secure a 3-2 comeback victory for Los Blancos.

It’s a goal that means the La Liga trophy is now almost certainly heading back to the Santiago Bernabeu.

The 2021/22 season has undoubtedly been the best of Benzema’s distinguished playing career and it may result in him holding the Ballon d’Or award aloft in October.

Another accolade that the Frenchman is in the running for is the European Golden Shoe.

Benzema is comfortably in the top three at the time of writing, although he may struggle to catch Bayern Munich‘s Robert Lewandowski in what remains of the campaign.

You’ll see what we mean after checking out the current top 25 in the standings…
