After a slow start in a white shirt, Kylian Mbappé is finally giving Robert Lewandowski some competition in La Liga's scoring race.
What looked like a runaway early on for La Liga's Golden Boot is now gearing up to be a fight between two of the best goalscorers in the world. Lewandowski got off to a massive lead, scoring 15 goals in the first four months of the 2024–25 season, but he has since stumbled along with Barcelona. The Poland international managed just two La Liga goals in December and January, leaving the door open for Mbappé to make up some ground.
Over the last two months, the Frenchman has begun to look more and more like the player who scored 52 goals for club and country last campaign. In fact, he has found the back of the net five times in his last two La Liga matches alone.
Now, Mbappé trails Lewandowski by just two goals in the Pichichi race. The Barcelona striker still reigns supreme atop the La Liga scoring charts with 17 goals, but Mbappé is close behind with 15.
