Real Madrid once again had to work on Sunday to overcome Sevilla FC. The Sevillans have however evolved at ten after just over a dozen minutes of play and even nine almost all the second period.

The Merengue had to wait for the last quarter of an hour of play to finally find the fault and once again, the light came from Kylian Mbappé, the Bondynois unlocking the situation of a beautiful strike outside the surface. And if in the last minutes of the meeting, Jude Bellingham doubled the bet, the tricolor world champion was indeed the Savior of Real.

And this goal also does the business of Kylian Mbappé on a strictly individual level. It validates almost definitively the title of Pichichi of the former Parisian. With 29 goals on the clock in Liga, he displays three goals ahead of Robert Lewandowski a day from the end.

In addition to being only a goal to become the most prolific French player in a (large) foreign championship, tied with Thierry Henry, author of 30 goals with the Gunners in 2004, Kylian Mbappé was a little closer to a first golden shoe.

Thanks to his 29 goals, he now has 58 points and is only half a point in Viktor Gyokeres, author of 39 goals with Sporting and therefore 58.5 points in the Golden Soulier ranking. And while the Portuguese championship is now over, Kylian Mbappé will have a last chance to improve his total next weekend, upon receiving the Real Sociedad on the occasion of the last day of Liga.

Kylian Mbappé must also be wary of Mohamed Salah, third in the ranking with 56 points thanks to his 28 goals scored with Liverpool, and who still has two matches on the program whose trip to Brighton on Monday.
