Lewandowski leads the Pichichi race with 25 goals, but Mbappé is closing in fast! The French star’s recent double has narrowed the gap to just one goal. Can Lewandowski hold on, or will Mbappé snatch the top scorer crown?
With only four matchdays remaining in La Liga, the identity of the champion is the biggest question mark, but not the only one. Individual trophies are also at stake, including what is arguably the most prestigious: the Pichichi trophy, awarded to the competition’s top goalscorer.
We are entering the final stretch of the championship with two clear contenders separated from the rest. Lewandowski is currently the top scorer with 25 goals, but the Polish striker now sees Mbappé’s shadow behind him. Following his brace in today’s match against Celta, Mbappé has 23 goals.
Mbappé closing in
The French forward has taken advantage of the Barcelona striker’s absence, who was injured against Celta two weeks ago, to close the gap in the goalscoring charts. Only one goal separates the Pole from the Frenchman, and their race to win the Pichichi will be an added incentive in what promises to be a thrilling end to La Liga. Many are predicting that Mbappe will prevail by the end of the season.
After the Barcelona and Real Madrid forwards, there are other big names in La Liga who are having extraordinary seasons. Budimir (18 goals), Raphinha (16), and Ayoze (16) round out a high-quality Top 5.
