The conflict rages at the end of this exceptional season for the title of Golden Boot for the best scorer in the major leagues, but who will be crowned the title if the penalty kicks are not counted?
The Lazio striker Ciro Imobili leads the race after scoring 35 goals, beating Bayern Munich's top scorer Robert Lewandowski (34 goals) and Juventus club Cristiano Ronaldo scored 31 goals.
And the duo Imobili and Ronaldo can boost their balance of goals, in the final round of the Italian League, unlike the German League, which ended weeks ago by crowning Bayern Munich.
Figures show that the scorers' ranking table will witness many changes if the penalty kicks are excluded from the list of goals in statistics in the Golden Boot race.
Lewandowski will be in the lead with 29 goals, followed by Leipzig striker Timo Werner, who left for Chelsea with 28 goals, while Southampton striker Danny Ings is third with 21 goals.
Ronaldo will be the biggest loser, because he will lose 12 goals scored from penalty kicks, and he will fall in the ranking to seventh with 19 goals, one goal behind his Argentine rival Lionel Messi.
Score the top scorers without penalty kicks:
Robert Lewandowski 29 goals
Timo Werner 25
Danny Ings 21
Chero Imobili 21
Lionel Messi 20
Pierre Emeric Obamiang 20
Cristiano Ronaldo 19
