The race for the Golden Boot in Europe is gaining momentum, as Viktor Gyökeres takes the lead after the weekend games. Gyökeres, who plays for "PSV", scored two goals in his team's winning game. Now his total score stands at 14 goals in the current season. This allows him to surpass the leader of the previous season, striker Lionel Messi of "Barcelona". The Argentine has 13 goals. "It’s great to be in first place, but the Golden Boot is a team achievement, not just individual. We will continue to move forward," Gyökeres noted after the match. Following Gyökeres and Messi are forward "Bavaria" Robert Lewandowski and forward "Inter" Romelu Lukaku. They have scored 12 goals each.
