Bayern striker Robert Lewandowski saw off the challenge of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo to finish at the top of the European Golden Shoe rankings last season.
Manchester United star Ronaldo and Messi – who has moved from Barcelona to PSG – both entered the new campaign expecting to challenge again in the standings for the most goals in Europe.
Messi’s PSG team-mate Kylian Mbappe and a fellow young star in Erling Haaland were also expected to be in the mix to top the Golden Shoe rankings and take the crown from Lewandowski.
Along with Ronaldo, Romelu Lukaku, Harry Kane and Mohamed Salah started the season as the top Premier League candidates, though surprise winners have also emerged in the past.
Lewandowski continues to lead the race for the European Golden Shoe title, while fellow Bundesliga standout Erling Haaland is making positive progress in the standings.
Dusan Vlahovic, Karim Benzema and former winner Ciro Immobile are all tied for third place on 17 goals, just one strike behind Schick.
Haaland is now just one behind that group in the Golden Shoe charts, having moved onto 16 for the season by scoring in the 3-2 win for Dortmund away to Hoffenheim.
