Only Harry Kane (31 goals) has more goals as Europe&#8217;s current Golden Boot leader.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Armando Gonzlez is making waves of his own. The Chivas Guadalajara forward has just moved into the top four in the world with 24 goals after scoring twice against Pumas.<\/p>\n<p>Gonzlez has already won the Apertura 2025 Golden Boot and has added another 12 goals in this competition. With four games remaining, he is firmly in the lead in Liga MX&#8217;s points race.<\/p>\n<p>What makes Mexico&#8217;s dominance even more impressive is who it leaves on the world charts.
