On the morning of May 19, Mbappe had an excellent performance with 1 goal against Sevilla in Real Madrid's 2-0 victory. This was also the 41st goal in 55 matches for "Los Blancos" in all competitions this season by the French striker.

Mbappe is currently just half a point behind Sporting Lisbon's Viktor Gyokeres in the race for the European Golden Shoe.

Each of Gyokeres' goals counts for 1.5 points, when playing in a league outside the top 5 in Europe. While Mbappe's goals in La Liga count for 2 points. With 38 goals, Gyokeres leads the race for the Golden Boot with 58.5 points, while Mbappe has 58 points after 29 goals.

Mohamed Salah is third on the list (56 points after 28 goals). The Egyptian striker helps to add heat to this fierce competition.

The race is coming to an end as Mbappe still has a chance to score in the final round of La Liga against Real Sociedad next week. He also has at least 3 more matches in the World Club Cup to extend his scoring record.

Meanwhile, Mbappe is about to enter another important match for the French team against Spain in the Nations League. It will be an opportunity for Mbappe to prove himself after a series of 11 matches without scoring for the national team.

With 41 goals in all competitions, Mbappe is only 3 goals away from equaling his career-best season (44 goals for PSG in the 2023/24 season).
