Once shining for Benfica, Vangelis Pavlidis is now left behind | OneFootball

Vangelis Pavlidis is no longer in the top 10 of the Golden Boot race, having dropped to 15th place at a decisive stage of the season. The Benfica striker currently has 21 goals, a tally that is no longer enough to keep up with the leading contenders.

Harry Kane remains at the top of the list, with 31 goals scored in the Bundesliga, holding a clear lead in the standings. Right behind him are Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland, although both have lost some momentum in recent weeks.

Among the players who have overtaken Pavlidis is Luis Suárez, Sporting’s striker, who sits in seventh place with 24 goals. Despite the disadvantage in the coefficient — since the Portuguese league awards 1.5 points per goal — the Colombian has managed to gain a direct advantage over Benfica’s centre-forward.

This factor has weighed heavily in the calculations, since goals scored in Europe’s top leagues are worth two points, making it harder for players competing in leagues with a lower coefficient to catch up. .

, Benfica’s number 14 now sees the competition pulling away, at a stage where every matchday can be decisive. .
