The remarkable total of Mbappé
Mbappé also preceded the Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres in the European Golden Shoe race, bringing his total to 31 league goals this season. The Portuguese striker totals 58.5 points, while the Real Madrid star finished with 62.

This will be a new opportunity for Mbappé to shine on the international scene and add new trophies to his record. After a first dream season in Spain, the Frenchman will look forward to reissuing his exploits on American soil.
