Messi clinches 4th european golden shoe award
I think there may be a mistake here!
Lionel Messi has actually won the European Golden Shoe award a record-breaking seven times, not four. His most recent win was in the 2020-21 season, when he scored 30 goals for Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.
The European Golden Shoe award is given annually to the top scorer in European football, and Messi has dominated the competition throughout his career. He has won the award in the following seasons:
- 2009-10: 34 goals for Barcelona
- 2011-12: 50 goals for Barcelona
- 2012-13: 46 goals for Barcelona
- 2016-17: 37 goals for Barcelona
- 2017-18: 34 goals for Barcelona
- 2018-19: 36 goals for Barcelona
- 2020-21: 30 goals for Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain
So, while Messi has indeed won the European Golden Shoe award multiple times, it's not his fourth time - it's actually his seventh!
