Messi-3 Consecutive Golden Shoe

Football is the most played and followed sport in the world without any doubt. It has created many rivalries in every decade but the most consistent and inspiring one is Messi vs Ronaldo


Therefore, many times both of them has crossed each other's record on both individual and team level. In 2016, Cristiano Ronaldo had more Golden Shoe (4) than Messi (3). From there Lionel Messi changed history and overturned that record by securing 3 Consecutive Golden Shoe from 17-19. Let’s find out how little man has chased his Rival in terms of European League Goals from 2017-2019.


2016-2017 Season

2017-2018 Season

In the following season, Messi has taken the record from El Bicho. In the 17-18 season, Messi has 34 Goals in 36 Appearances. Argentine genius scored an overall 52 Goals that taking the goal tally up to 617 Goals in his career.

2018-2019 Season

A vintage season of football maestro. Many football fans believed that Messi had single-handedly brought Barcelona to the verge of winning the Champions League in this one. Moreover, he netted 36 Goals in this La Liga campaign while playing 34 Games. A season where he closed the competition by winning a record 6th Golden Shoe which is Most in the football history.


It is one of the most disregarded points of Messi’s career that he doesn’t get much praise for overturning this record. Although he hasn’t won the Champions League between these years but clinching the record of scoring the most league goals that too for 3 successive seasons is a massive achievement. In that time frame, Messi has made 107 League Goals to Ronaldo’s 72 League Goals.


Conclusion

The race for European Golden Shoe started in 2008 when Ronaldo earned his first-ever Golden Boot in Manchester United. Messi’s long rival has won The Accolade on four occasions 2008, 2011, 2014 and 2015. Messi won three times in 2010,2012,2013 before settling a tremendous record of 3 consecutive golden shoe. Messi-Ronaldo rivalry is the longest-ever rivalry in football history where both have made unbelievable records. However, this comeback of the Argentine Footballer must be appreciated which he accomplished in the latter stages of his career.
