Kingsley Coman scored two goals as Bayern Munich registered a 3-0 win over Freiburg while Bayer Leverkusen returned to the top of the Bundesliga on Sunday.

Coman opened the scoring in the 12th minute for Bayern. Sané made it 2-0 in the 25th when he played a one-two with Harry Kane before finishing for his sixth goal of the season.

Sané scored again before the break but the goal was ruled out through VAR for an apparent offside. Freiburg failed to create anything and it was looking so easy for Bayern.

Coman provided a rare moment of excitement in the second half when his shot landed on the roof of the net. Leon Goretzka struck the crossbar before Coman finally grabbed his second in the 85th minute.

Bayer Leverkusen is on the top of the Bundesliga table

Leverkusen produced another beautiful display in a 3-0 win over local rival Cologne that kept Xabi Alonso's team top after this round, a point ahead of Stuttgart and two ahead of Bayern. Jonas Hofmann opened the scoring in the 22nd when he swept the ball inside the right post after Florian Wirtz set him up with his heel.

Bayer Leverkusen was dominating play and Alex Grimaldo whipped the ball across the face of goal for Jeremie Frimpong to score the second goal 10 minutes later.

Cologne goalkeeper Marvin Schwäbe was powerless to stop Hofmann crossing for Boniface's easy finish to seal it in the second half. It was Boniface's seventh goal of the season, helped by Frimpong. Boniface almost scored again late but his shot stormed past the far post.

The European leagues are up and running and we have already witnessed some great encounters between the top European teams. The hunt to win the European Golden Boot is also taking shape for the 2024-25 season.

Some big names from the Top five European leagues are already in full swing and they are scoring loads of goals to clinch the coveted annual award for the highest goalscorer in Europe. However, some young and talented players have enlisted themselves in the charts as well; even from outside of the top five European leagues.

According to the coefficient rankings updated by UEFA on 7 November 2024, the top five European Leagues are the English Premier League, Serie A (Italy), LaLiga (Spain), Bundesliga (Germany), and French Ligue 1 respectively. 

Sportzpoint brings you all the details about the leading goalscorers in the top five European leagues, details of the UEFA League ranking, and the leading goalscorers competing for the 2024-25 European Golden Boot.

The European Golden Boot Race

The Golden Boot is awarded by European Sports Media (ESM) which is a unified association of Football Magazine publications such as Marca, Kicker, La Gazzetta dello Sport, Frankfurter AZ, etc. They took over since 1996-97 season and started a new ranking system based on the position of the league for the respective players. 

The UEFA coefficient ranking is considered a measure for weighting points, with the principle being to acknowledge players who score in leagues of higher quality according to rankings, which makes it tougher to find the back of the net.

The number of goals scored in the top five leagues of Europe are counted with a multiplier of two, while those from leagues ranked six to 21 receive a 1.5 multiplier, and goals from all other leagues are counted as one.

This is how the points system works.
