Immobile ends Barca-Real grip on Golden Shoe

Lazio striker Ciro Immobile has become

the first player from outside Barcelona

or Real Madrid to be named Europe’s

outright top marksman since Diego

Forlan in 2008-09.

Luis Suarez shared the Golden Shoe

with Cristiano Ronaldo while he was

still a Liverpool player in 2013-14, but

otherwise Spain’s two biggest clubs have

dominated the award in the last decade.

Immobile is also the first Italian to

win it since Francesco Totti collected

the honour in 2006-07, and only the

third Serie A striker since the award

was taken up by ESM in1996.

The 30-year-old overtook long-time

leader Robert Lewandowski in the last

week of the Serie A campaign to finish

with 36 goals. Bayern’s Lewandowski

was runner-up with 34, while four-times

winner Ronaldo was third with 31.

The Golden Shoe computation is

based on UEFA’s national rankings at

the start of a season. Thus, marksmen

from among the top five European

leagues benefit from a multiple of 2,

the next batch (places six to 22)

a factor of1.5, and the rest1.

This explains the joint-fifth positioning

of Erling Haaland, who scored16 goals

at a1.5 factor for Austria’s RB Salzburg

in the first half of 2019-20, and then

at a 2 factor for Borussia Dortmund in

the second half. They placed him level

with Barcelona’s record six-time winner

Lionel Messi on 50 points, even though

the Norwegian scored more goals.
