In the Spanish Championship (La Liga), Kylian Mbappe scored 31 goals and was the "Top Scorer" of the tournament. But there is another race that he and Real Madrid fans are looking forward to, which is the race for the European Golden Shoe for the player who scores the most goals in the national championships.

Until the last day of La Liga, Mbappe scored a double against Real Sociedad to reach the 31-goal mark as above.

In Portugal, Swedish striker Viktor Gyokeres scored 39 goals. Meanwhile, in the Premier League, Mohamed Salah scored another goal against Crystal Palace to finish the tournament with 29 goals.

The race for the European Golden Shoe is not just about goals, but also about points. Each goal scored in one of the top five leagues, the Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1, is worth 2 points.

Goals from leagues 6 to 22, including the Portuguese Primeira Liga, are worth 1.5 points. The remaining leagues are worth only 1 point per goal.

Thus, at the end of the European national championships, Mbappe scored 31 goals, equivalent to 62 points. Viktor Gyokeres, although scoring 39 goals, with a coefficient of 1.5, only had 58.5 points.

Mohamed Salah with 29 goals ended the season with 58 points. Thus, the winner of this year's European Golden Shoe is Kylian Mbappe. This is the first time in his career that the French striker has won this title.

Last season, he and Real Madrid went through a terrible period when they were empty-handed in all competitions. But as for Mbappe, he still "fired" regularly.

In addition to 31 goals in La Liga, the total number of goals he has scored in all competitions is up to 43. Thanks to that, Mbappe became the player who scored the most goals in his debut season with Real Madrid. Previously, Cristiano Ronaldo could only reach 33 goals in his first season with this team.
