European Golden Shoe

European Golden Shoe
The European Golden Shoe is awarded to the top goal scorer in Europe. Since the points system was established in 1996, Ronaldo and Messi are two of only three players, along with Mário  Jardel, to score 80 or  more points, while Messi is the only player to score 100 points. The Golden Shoe is awarded based on a weighted points system that allows players in tougher leagues to win even if they score fewer goals than a player in a weaker league. Goals scored in the top five leagues according to the UEFA coefficients rankings are multiplied by a factor of two, and goals scored in the leagues ranked six to 21 are multiplied by 1.5. Ronaldo and Messi are the only players to win the award three times.
By virtue of being the top scorer in Europe, Ronaldo and Messi also received the Premier League Golden Boot and the Pichichi Trophy in the respective seasons.
