Lionel Messi will almost certainly win his third consecutive European Golden Shoe this weekend – breaking a long-standing record held by Rangers legend Ally McCoist.First introduced for the 1967/68 season by French football magazine L’Equipe, it has been handed out by the European Sports Media (ESM) since the 1996/97 season, where a points-based system has been in place.The Golden Shoe is given to the top goalscorer across European leagues at the end of each season.
Getty3What on Earth is the Golden Shoe?
For those of you who dont know how the Golden Shoe standings are calculated, UEFAs definition is as follows:The rankings are based on league goals scored multiplied by a figure denoting the difficulty ranking of each league, which is calculated using the UEFA coefficient list.Only the top five leagues [Premier League, Serie A, LaLiga, Bundesliga, Ligue 1] have a x2 multiplier.Middle ranked leagues have a x1.5 multiplier, while the lower-ranked leagues are x1. However, he is not the only man to have won it twice in a row, as the talkSPORT co-presenter will tell you.McCoist’s Rangers heroics during the 1991/92 and 1992/93 seasons means he shares the record with Messi –Cristiano Ronaldo and Thierry Henry did it, but had to share it with someone else.McCoist scored 34 goals in both campaigns as the Gers stormed their way to the Scottish league title.
GETTY3Golden Shoe as it stands
1. Lionel Messi (Barcelona, ESP) 36 goals x 2 league multiplier = 72 points2. Kylian Mbappe (Paris Saint-Germain, FRA) 32 x 2 = 64 points

You can't just throw an official on a game, according to Goldberger and Collins. The need to match good officials to the right games is an issue that argues against a union-type environment. It's also a factor that makes the officiating industry slightly different from other hiring situations.
