Golden Shoe: Cristiano Ronaldo closes in with 42 La Liga goals

Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are battling out for the prestigious European Golden Shoe award.
The prize is given to the leading goalscorer across domestic leagues, with the leaderboard taking into account strength of each division, according to the UEFA Coefficient.
The total number of goals is multiplied by a factor of either 2 or 1.5 based on the division - and once again, the top two in world football are well ahead of the chasing pack.
Real Madrid star Ronaldo currently has 42 La Liga goals, two more than Messi for Barcelona.

But with La Liga deemed one of the strongest leagues - and theoretically harder to score in - Ronaldo has a total of 84, four ahead of his long-term rival.
Should the Portuguese retain his advantage over the final two games, he will claim the Golden Shoe for a fourth time, having shared it with Luis Suarez last season.
Messi, who is well clear of third-place countryman Sergio Aguero, has also won the award on three separate occasions.
Aguero's 25 goals for Manchester City, including the hat-trick against QPR on Sunday, give him an overall score of 50.

Neymar and Atletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann are tied in fourth, having both scored 22 goals in La Liga this term.

Tottenham striker Harry Kane is ninth after his incredible season at White Hart Lane, with Diego Costa and Charlie Austin the other Premier League representatives in the top 20.
