Lewandowski, who plays for the Spanish giants Barcelona, has netted 25 goals in La Liga, leading the Spanish league's scoring chart ahead of Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe.

Salah tops the overall European ranking with 27 goals in the English Premier League.

Lewandowski previously claimed the European Golden Shoe in 2021 and 2022.

In the 2021/2022 season, he scored 35 goals for German heavyweights Bayern Munich, finishing as Europe’s top scorer.

In January 2022, the Polish star was named world soccer governing body FIFA’s Best Men's Player for 2021, beating Argentina's Lionel Messi and Egypt's Salah.
