Lewandowski finishes 2019 as football's top scorer

Robert Lewandowski is set to finish 2019 as the top scorer at the elite level of world football.

The Bayern Munich striker has netted 54 goals in 58 matches with his club and the Polish national team since January 1.

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have dominated this crown in the last decade, apart from when Edin Dzeko (2009) and Harry Kane (2017) led the way.

This year, Messi has scored 50 goals in 58 games but has missed four matches for Argentina after getting suspended at the Copa America.

In third place is Kylian Mbappe, who has scored 44 goals in 49 games for Paris Saint-Germain and France. 

Raheem Sterling is currently in fourth with 41 goals for Manchester City and England, and he could add to that tally before the year is out.

Outside of Europe, Eran Zahavi (40 goals for Guangzhou R&F and Israel) and Carlos Vela (38 goals for LAFC) also make the top 10.
