award
The European Golden Shoe, besides known as European Golden Boot, is an prize that is presented each season to the leading goalscorer in league matches from the top class of every european national league. The trophy is a sculpture of a football bang. From its origin in the 1967–68 season, the award, in the first place called “ Soulier d’Or ”, which translates from french as Golden Shoe or Boot, has been given to the top goalscorer in all european leagues during a season. Since 1997, it has been calculated using a burden in favor of the highest rate leagues. primitively presented by L’Équipe magazine, it has been awarded by the european Sports Media since the 1996–97 season. Lionel Messi has won the award a record six times, all while playing for Barcelona .

history [edit ]

between 1968 and 1991, the award was given to the highest goalscorer in any European league. This was regardless of the strength of the league in which the crown scorekeeper played and the act of games in which the player had taken share. During this menstruation Eusébio, Gerd Müller, Dudu Georgescu and Fernando Gomes each won the Golden Shoe doubly. [ 1 ] Following a protest from the Cyprus FA, which claimed that a Cypriot player with 40 goals should have received the award ( though the official crown scorers for the season are both listed with 19 goals ), L’Équipe issued no awards between 1991 and 1996.

Since the 1996–97 season, european Sports Media have awarded the Golden Shoe based on a points system that allows players in bad leagues to win even if they score fewer goals than a actor in a weaker league. The weightings are determined by the league ‘s rank on the UEFA coefficients, which in turn depend on the results of each league ‘s clubs in european contest over the former five seasons. Goals scored in the top five leagues according to the UEFA coefficients list are multiplied by a factor of two, goals scored in the leagues ranked 6 to 22 ( previously 9 to 21 ) are multiplied by a factor of 1.5, and goals scored in leagues ranked 22 and below are multiplied by a agent of 1. [ 2 ] Thus, goals scored in higher rate leagues will count for more than those scored in weaker leagues. [ 3 ] Since this change, there have only been two winners who were not playing in one of the top five leagues ( Henrik Larsson, 2000–01 scottish Premier League and Mario Jardel, 1998–99 Primeira Divisão and 2001–02 Primeira Liga ). Although the Golden Shoe could be shared among multiple players in the by, in the 2019–20 season this predominate was changed to give the award to the player with the least minutes played, should there be a connect on points. [ 4 ] If marry persists, numeral of league assists and, then, the less penalties scored, would be counted. only in case tie ultimately persists, the award would be shared .
