Exciting moment is here! There are only two rounds left before the end of this season's major European leagues. The competition for the European Golden Boot Award, one of the highest personal honors of the year, is really full of suspense now. No one can guess the result until the last moment!

Currently ranked first is Portuguese Sports' scorer Jicres, who scored 39 goals, corresponding to 58.5 points.

After two superstars who are very familiar to everyone - Mbappe and Salah! They both scored 28 goals.

Interesting point is here! Jicres scored 39 goals, with a score of 58.5. Mbappe and Salah scored 28 goals, but the score was 57! The number of goals scored was 11, and the points were only 1.5 points? ! The secret of this is

lies in the points coefficient rules of the Golden Boot Award. This rule is to measure the difficulty of scoring goals in different leagues: in the five major leagues (Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, and Ligue 1), the goal is calculated as 2 points, while in other leagues such as the Portuguese Super League (the league where Jicres is located), the goal is calculated as 1.5 points. Therefore, although Mbappe and Salah did not score less than Jicresdo's goals, because they were in the five major leagues, each goal was heavier. Rules like

do make some fans feel unfair. I worked hard to score 39 goals, but maybe I lost to those who scored 28 goals in the end. This made those shooters who worked hard in non-five leagues feel a little frustrated, right?

However, rules are rules, and competition continues! Both Mbappe and Salah have the last two league games. They only need to score one or two more goals to complete the reversal and steal the Golden Boot with their points advantage! Especially Jicres, he was the winner of last year's Golden Boot Award! This year, he is about to defend his title and may be overtaken in the end. This script is undoubtedly a bit cruel for Jicres.

Top scorers like Lewandowski have a big difference in the number of goals scored this year compared to the top three. It seems that the Golden Boot is about to be produced between these three people.

I looked at this Golden Boot Awards and thought it was so interesting! On one side is the goal machine Jicres, and on the other side are two world-class superstars. Although the rules are controversial, the final sprint is really exciting. Everyone wins, there are stories, but the competition under the points rule has indeed complicated the value and discussion of this award.
