The Bosnian International put in a great challenge for the Champions League Golden Shoe during the previous campaign, bagging an amazing 8 goals and 5 assists on his way to leading the Serie A giants to the semifinals of the competition.
This season, it seems he has something bigger to achieve in his mind, having entered into the European tournament in an explosive form, finding the back of the net consistently and helping the Romans to qualify for the next stage of the competition.
Dzeko has bagged an amazing 5 goals in just 4 Champions League appearances so far this season and with such a brilliant start, he has put himself among the few superstars who could defeat both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo to the Champions League Golden Shoe.

Unsurprisingly, Lionel Messi is his favorite player and is the one true GOAT for him over Cristiano Ronaldo.
