5 strikers 'bombing' European tournaments this season
Suarez broke the dominance of Messi - Ronaldo, while killers like Ibrahimovic and Higuain went down in history with impressive achievements.
Luis Suarez (La Liga, Spain) - 40 goals
Along with his great contribution to helping Barca successfully defend the championship, Luis Suarez not only won the Pichichi (La Liga's top scorer) but also took home the 2016 European Golden Shoe, with 40 goals.
The Uruguayan striker has broken the dominance of teammates Messi and Ronaldo for the past 6 years, since the last time a senior compatriot did it, Diego Forlan (2009).
This season, Ronaldo finished second (35 goals) and Messi ranked third.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Ligue 1, France) - 38 goals
At the age of 34, the Swedish striker still made an impressive record, going down in history as the player who scored the most goals for PSG in one season, in the highest league in France: 38 goals.
This is a beautiful farewell gift from Ibrahimovic after 4 years with the club, which is also the period of time PSG has continuously sat on the throne.

Gonzalo Higuain (Serie A, Italy) - 36 goals
Although he did not enjoy the joy of winning the championship like Suarez or Ibra, the striker playing for Napoli broke the 66-year-old scoring record in Serie A.
Higuain "pocketed" 36 goals after 35 appearances for Napoli, thereby breaking the record for scoring in a season in the Italian national championship, belonging to Gunnar Nordahl (AC Milan, 35 goals) since the 1949/50 season.

Robert Lewandowski (Bundesliga, Germany) - 30 goals
Along with Bayern's dominance of the Bundesliga, striker Robert Lewandowski also won the Golden Boot award this season - 30 goals.
In recent years, the Gray Tigers have been seen as a one-man show, making the tournament less attractive.

Harry Kane (Premier League, England) - 25 goals
The Golden Boot award went to the striker who had been silent for the first 6 matches: Tottenham's Harry Kane. The first match this striker spoke up was in the 4-1 victory over Man City, on September 26.
Tottenham were in a title race with Leicester until the end, but on the final day they lost their runners-up spot to Arsenal.
Jamie Vardy (Leicester City) and Sergio Aguero (Man City) finished second, with 24 goals each.
