The Real Madrid season is undoubtedly failed, despite a European supercup and an intercontinental cup gleaned from the second half of 2024. However, Kylian Mbappé can boast of having succeeded in the White House. Credited with a last slow exercise with PSG last year, Bondy's crack found its superb on the other side of the Pyrenees. Proof is his personal return.
In 56 matches in all competitions for his baptism of the late Merengue, the captain of the French team was able to combine 42 goals and five assists – including 30 achievements signed on the Spanish championship alone. This Saturday against Real Sociedad in Bernabeu, it is a penalty transformed into two stages which allowed the person concerned to take the lead in the Golden Shoe race.
With 30 goals in liga to his credit, Kylian Mbappé is now 60 points to his individual counter, 1.5 more than the Sporting Viktor Gyökeres striker, who scored 39 goals but in a league with a lower coefficient (1.5 for the Portuguese championship; 2 for the Spanish elite).
Mbappé, the worthy heir to Henry
Only two players can a priori contest the one who will officially become Pichichi (top scorer in Liga) on Sunday: Robert Lewandowski, who to do this must register a six -part with Barça on the Bilbao field. And Mohamed Salah, who must split a hat -trick upon receiving Crystal Palace in Anfield.
Without that, Kylian Mbappé will win the golden shoe attributed to the top scorer on the European continent. This 20 years after a Thierry Henry who had managed to do double in 2004 (30 goals) and 2005 (25 goals) with Arsenal and to date remains the one and only French player to have known this privilege since the creation of said distinction in 1967.
