With the conclusion of the major European leagues, it’s time to assess the season’s performances and rankings. We can already take a look at the top 30 players vying for the Golden Boot 2023/2024. Last season, Manchester City’s Norwegian phenomenon, Erling Haaland, was the winner, scoring 36 goals in 35 Premier League matches.
And this year? The king of goals in Europe had a stellar season in terms of scoring. We’re talking about Harry Kane, the former Tottenham striker who, in his first year at Bayern Munich, proved to be a nightmare for German defenses. The title goes to the former Spurs player who scored an impressive 36 goals in 32 Bundesliga matches. A true sharpshooter.
The ranking is calculated by multiplying the number of goals scored by a coefficient that varies depending on the league’s difficulty. For Serie A and other top European leagues, this coefficient is 2. Kane triumphed with a total of 72 points, the same as Haaland last year.
