It rained goals in the 2016/17 season in leagues all across Europe. And in Europe’s top leagues strikers like Harry Kane, Aubameyang, Bas Bost and Messi were scoing goals for fun.
Messi won the Golden Shoe for being the highest goalscorer in Europe. He scored a total of 37 goals and finished with a points total of 74 (Spain’s UEFA coefficient is 2).
The 29-year-old didn’t score a hat-trick in the league but scored 11 doubles a goal every 77 minutes on average.
Messi’s closest challenger was Sporting CP forward Bas Dost. The Dutchman netted 34 times but still finished six points short of the South American.
Although Edinson Cavani scored 35 times, Ligue 1’s factor of 1.5 meant that he ended the season with 52.5 points.
