Only during this first phase of the 2024-25 season, FC Barcelona has clearly shown that they are once again ready to compete with the biggest teams in Europe for the biggest prizes.
The Catalans are the undisputed leaders of the League, six points ahead of Real Madrid, and after a first meeting in Monaco, they have also won their last two games in the UEFA Champions League.
Veteran striker Robert Lewandowski has been instrumental in these achievements, with his goals playing a crucial role in the team's success. The Polish striker has already scored 17 goals in 14 appearances, 14 of them in La Liga, including his equalizer against Real Madrid.
As marked by MARCA, with these league goals, Lewandowski is now the leader in the race for the Golden Boot this season. After his brace against Real Madrid, the pole is ahead of Alex Tamm of Kalju, who plays in Estonia, and Klettskard of Klaksvik, who plays in the Faroe Islands. Both players will see their season end in 2024, but before that, they were ahead of Lewandowski in the Golden Boot rankings.
But the main competition for this prestigious award will come from the great European championships, but even here the pole has an advantage. With his 14 goals in the league, he is ahead of Erling Haaland (who has 11 goals in the Premier League), Marmoush and Harry Kane (with 9 goals each in the Bundesliga), Retegui (10 goals in Serie A) and Barcola (7 goals . in Ligue 1).
