While waiting to satisfy his dreams of Champions and Golden Ball, Kylian Mbappé can one day satisfy a new trophy to his record in the coming days: the Golden Soulier.
This award, created in 1968, is awarded to the top scorer of the European Championships. Despite its boxes in Ligue 1 with PSG, Mbappé has never won it before. In recent seasons, he has been ahead of Robert Lewandowski (Bayern), Erling Haaland (Man City) or Harry Kane (Bayern). But this year could be the right one.
Kylian Mbappé can end the season in style.
Everything should be played this Saturday, on the last day of Liga. And what is certain is that Mbappé must absolutely mark against Real Sociedad this Saturday. With 29 goals, the Frenchman has 58 points in the Golden Ball classification. He is preceded by Viktor Gyokeres, who has scored much more with Sporting (39 goals), but whose Portuguese championship is less well on the Golden Soulier classification, which only gives 58.5 points to the Swedish.
Mbappé, two trophies to finish?
Gyokeres ended up with his championship, and will not improve his total. The only one who can come back from the back and exceed Mbappé is Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian striker is at 28 goals with Liverpool, while the Reds end the season in freewheeling after the conquest of the title. But we are never safe from a double or a hat -trick against Crystal Place this Sunday.
On the other hand, Mbappé should not be worried by Robert Lewandowski. The Polish of FC Barcelona has its counter blocked at 25 goals for several weeks. Which should ensure the “Pichichi”, the title of top scorer in Liga, in Mbappé.
