Immobile reached 24 goals and tied Messi, Kane, Salah and Cavani. The fight for the Golden Boot in Europe is hotter than ever. And all because Ciro Immobile, the Lazio striker, scored against Cagliari his 24th goal in the Italian League, which tied him in that number at the top of the scorers table with Messi, who dominates his whim in the League of Spain; Harry Kane, Mohammed Salah, who equal top gunners in the Premier League of England and Édinson Cavani, the scorer in the French League.

Immobile tied the maximum number thanks to his goal and that none of the four players who until Sunday led the table scored in the days of the weekend. Messi, the star of Barcelona, did not travel; he was in the match against Málaga at the last minute discarded in the call due to the birth of his son; Uruguayan Cavani was not part of the game either because he met a penalty in the match against Metz in the French League.

Of course, the news for Kane is not good news either. The English player, intended by Real Madrid for next season, left injured yesterday in the league match for the date 30, after suffering a blow with the goalkeeper of the opposing team. The first medical evaluations speak of the possibility that it is a ligament injury in the player's ankle. The season could have ended the British striker, but we will have to wait to see if he can go to the World Cup and if Real Madrid retires at the moment of the race for his signing depending on the severity of the injury.

Similarly, the Egyptian Salah, the top gunner of Liverpool, could not score for Manchester United in the League of England and Kane went blank with Tottenham Hotspur in the match against Bournemouth, despite the easy victory of his team (1-4).

After the games this weekend, Messi has 10 games to increase his scoring tally, the same as Immobile, one more than Cavani and two more than Salah, Kane, Jonas and Lewandowski. In the list of the first 10 scorers also appears the Argentine Sergio Agüero, Manchester City English, with 21 goals and 42 points. But the outlook for the 'Kun' Agüero is not flattering, as he will be around two weeks out due to a knee injury. The 29-year-old confirmed that during Saturday's training he felt a discomfort in his left knee and that later the doctors of the club informed him that he will be a couple of weeks away from the courts. The Uruguayan Luis Suárez (F. C. Barcelona) has 21 goals and 42 points; and the Brazilian Neymar (Paris Saint-Germain), also injured and discarded for what remains of the French League, counts 20 goals and 40 points. It should be noted that the Colombian Falcao Garcia, with his injuries and absences, remains in the third position of goalscorers in the Gala League, with 17 goals, to seven of the leaders in Europe.
