Messi or Mbappe: Who is the European Golden Shoe favourite?

With the European football season ending in just a few weeks, attention has turned to the Premier League top-four battle, the title race and the Champions League – as well as who will be crowned this year's Golden Shoe winner.

The European Golden Shoe is an annual award presented to the leading goalscorer in league games from the top division of every national league in the continent.

Lionel Messi has been a favourite for the award since the start of the season alongside Kylian Mbappe, who has continued to impress on the pitch since his World Cup heroics with France last summer.
