The football award – the Golden Boot, which is awarded annually to the top scorer of UEFA football clubs, was won by Barcelona. Argentine forward Lionel Messi received the award. Dozens of forwards competed for the Golden Boot, with Mohamed Salah and Harry Kane among the leaders, but ultimately they ceded the top spot to the Argentine. However, the Golden Boot went to the Barcelona forward once again. In 2017, Lionel scored 37 goals and, surpassing his competitors, received his fourth award.
For Lionel Messi, the Golden Boot is not his first trophy. Throughout his football career, the forward has managed to earn five identical awards. In UEFA history, this is a new record, as no other footballer in the world can boast such an achievement. By the way, legend Cristiano Ronaldo also held four Golden Boots until 2018.
