Arguably one of the best central midfielders to play the beautiful game. Born on January 4, 1990, in Greifswald, East Germany, Kroos honed his technical skills early, growing up in a family steeped in athleticism—his father, Roland, was a professional football coach.

Kroos began his professional journey at Bayern Munich, joining their youth ranks in 2006 and making his Bundesliga debut at 17. Although he showed flashes of brilliance, the crowded Bayern midfield prompted a loan move to Bayer Leverkusen in 2009.

At Leverkusen, he refined his game, and when he returned to Bayern in 2010, he established himself as a key member of the squad. 

Over the next four years, Kroos became integral to Bayern's dominance, which culminated in the historic 2013 treble under Jupp Heynckes.In 2014, following Germany’s World Cup victory where he shone as one of the tournament's best footballers, Kroos transferred to Real Madrid for €25 million.

At Real Madrid, he quickly became an essential component of the midfield trio alongside Luka Modrić and Casemiro. Together, they formed one of the most successful midfield units in recent football history, helping Real Madrid win three consecutive UEFA Champions League titles from 2016 to 2018.

With a playing style defined by his extraordinary vision, passing precision, and composure under pressure, Kroos has achieved a remarkable career, setting a benchmark for modern midfield play.

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.

What happened in the first leg?

Image

The first leg of the semi-final was one of the Champions League classics with a 3-3 result at the  Lluís Companys. 

Marcus Thuram scored the fastest goal of Champions League semi-final history with a 30-second goal in the game. In the 21st minute, Dumfries then extended the lead for Inter Milan. 

But, Barcelona came back three minutes later with a stunning curling goal from Lamine Yamal. In the 38th minute, Ferran Torres scored again for Barcelona to make it 2-2.

However, Inter Milan were ready to strike back in the second half as Dumfries scored his second to hand Inter the lead, again.

But again, Barcelona came back two minutes later with a third goal from Raphinha, which was later confirmed to be an own goal by Inter goalkeeper Sommer. 

Inter nearly won the tie if not Dumfries had been found an inch offside before scoring what could have been a well-deserved hat-trick for him. 

We have everything to play for in the second leg. But Inter have not lost a home game in the UCL this season. Can Barcelona break that record?

Final Verdict

Declan Rice's second free-kick goal vs Real Madrid | sportzpoint.com

A perfect night for Arsenal. They are up and about from the word go. However, Real Madrid did show some glimpses of their best in the first half. 

But in the second half, Arsenal dominated Real Madrid like a minnow team from smaller leagues. 

Declan Rice, with two stunning free-kicks, has now become the first player to score multiple free-kicks in a single UCL knockout game.

Mikel Merino also scored a beautiful goal to give Arsenal the important cushion they were looking for. 

Camavinga received a red during the fag end of the match and he will miss the second leg. 

But is it all over? When the team is Real Madrid, the game is not over until it's over. 

Arsenal will head to Berenbeau as favourites, but don't count out Real Madrid yet.

And, yes, Arsenal are still unbeaten against Real Madrid in UCL.
