H<\/span>Early Kane’s brace for Bayern Munich last weekend (3-0 against Bremen) and Kylian Mbapp\u00e9’s forced substitution against Real Sociedad (he was rested for a knockout in the 4-1 win over Real Sociedad) meant the Englishman has moved up significantly in the latest Golden Boot standings, a trophy sponsored by European Sports Media (ESM) and with MARCA as Spain’s national media outlet.<\/p>\n

Kane currently has 26 goals in the Bundesliga, while Kylian has 23 in LaLiga, which is still within reach given the number of goals remaining.<\/p>\n

Current Golden Boot standings<\/h2>\n

1. Harry Kane (FC Bayern) 26 goals x 2 points = 52 points<\/p>\n

2. Kylian Mbappe (Real Madrid) 23 x 2 = 46<\/p>\n

3. Erling Haaland (Manchester City) 22 x 2 = 44<\/p>\n

4. \u201cIgor Thiago\u201d (Brentford FC) 17 x 2 = 34<\/p>\n

5. Vedat Muriqui (RCD Mallorca) 16 x 2 = 32<\/p>\n

6. Vangelis Pavlidis (Benfica) 20 x 1.5 = 30<\/p>\n

7. Darko Lemazi\u0107 (FK RFS) 29 x 1 = 29<\/p>\n

8. Luis Suarez (Sporting Portugal) 19 x 1.5 = 28.5<\/p>\n

9. Mason Greenwood (Marseille) 14 x 2 = 28<\/p>\n

Lautaro Martinez (Inter) 14 x 2 = 28<\/p>\n

The Englishman won the trophy with Bayern Munich in the German competition in 2023\/24 with 36 goals, while the Frenchman became the last winner of the Golden Boot after scoring 31 goals for Real Madrid last season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
