Lewandowski remains Lionel Messi's biggest threat for the Champions League Golden Shoe this season

The Polish International is currently sitting on top of the goalscoring chart in the European tournament, with his impressive 8 goals in just 6 appearances, which was enough to fire Niko Kovac's men from the group stage into the next round of the competition.
Being 2 goals ahead, there is no doubt Lewandowski remains the superstar with the most chances of pipping Barcelona maestro Lionel Messi to the Champions League Golden Shoe this season and with the tournament now into the second phase, things could get really interesting from here.
