All against Mbappé, the war is on

This Saturday is the 38th and final day of Ligue 1. Among the notable issues, we obviously think of the incredible fight between Kylian Mbappé and Alexandre Lacazette in the race for the title of top scorer in the championship.

The 2022-2023 Ligue 1 season will soon close its doors. The podium is already known, with PSG champion, RC Lens second and OM third. On the other hand, there remains suspense for the places in the European Cup and relegation. Among the other issues, we can mention the fight for the top scorer in Ligue 1 between Kylian Mbappé and Alexandre Lacazette. For the moment, the world champion has 28 goals and the Lyonnais, 27. PSG receive Clermont and OL travel to Nice. Everything remains open for the two men, who will be keen to make an impression. Because Mbappé can validate two big goals, namely to match Jean-Pierre Papin with 5 titles of top scorer in Ligue 1, but also to beat the record of Just Fontaine, who had planted 53 goals in all competitions during the 1957-1958 season. Mbappé is only three goals away from this record and Clermont could be the perfect victim.

OL on a mission for Lacazette, Mbappé is warned

But Alexandre Lacazette intends to play the spoilsports. The Lyonnais is the strong man of his team and wants to give himself the means to end the season on a good note. Moreover, at OL, everyone would be happy to allow the former Arsenal player to win the title of top scorer, like Franck Passi. “ If Alexandre Lacazette can finish top scorer, we will try to do everything we can to get him to score goals and get ahead of Mbappé », in particular indicated in recent hours the assistant of Laurent Blanc at a press conference. Note that the last time Kylian Mbappé did not win the title of top scorer was in 2018. That year, it was his ex-teammate Edinson Cavani who won with 28 goals. It remains to know the face that Mbappé will display this Saturday evening, while the heads will not necessarily be 100% given the serious condition in which Sergio Rico is after his dramatic accident.
