Lionel Messi has become the first footballer to win the Golden Boot of Europe for the third season in a row.
The Barcelona forward ended the campaign with 36 goals, a tally only matched by Kylian Mbappe, but the PSG star managed just one goal on Friday night in Reims, when he needed four.
In this way, Messi wins the Golden Shoe for the sixth time in his career, an absolute record in the history of football, while years ago, when he won it for the fifth time, Messi became the first footballer to achieve something like this, surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo, reports kp.
Previously, only Rangers' Ally McCoist, Arsenal's Thierry Henry and Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo have won the Golden Boot in two consecutive seasons.
Messi has scored 50 goals in all competitions and today in the Copa del Rey final against Sevilla he will try to increase this number.
