Vangelis Pavlidis, the forward for Benfica, is currently in 5th place in the ranking for the European "Golden Shoe". His rise in the ranking is due to the two goals he scored in Benfica's 4-0 victory over Estrela Amadora, bringing his total to 19 goals in the Primeira Liga and 28.5 points overall. At the top of the ranking are Harry Kane of Bayern and Kylian Mbappé of Real Madrid, both with 21 goals and 42 points. Third is Erling Haaland of Manchester City with 20 goals and 40 points. Ayoub El Kaabi, the top scorer in the Greek Super League with 13 goals, is in 39th place in the ranking with 19.5 points. The ranking takes into account the coefficient of the leagues, with the top five having a coefficient of 2 and the others varying depending on their position in the UEFA ranking. The battle for the "Golden Shoe" is expected to be exciting, with many talented strikers vying for the title. Pavlidis' success is a significant achievement for Greek football and highlights his talent.
