This Is the Race for the Pichichi and Golden Boot for Mbappé After Valencia

Suffering an unexpected defeat against Valencia, Real Madrid left Santiago Bernabéu with a score of 1 to 2. A surprising result, especially for not having seen a new goal from Kylian Mbappé during the match. The Frenchman, who is fighting for the Pichichi and the Golden Boot, couldn't get closer to the top.

In the race for the Pichichi, Mbappé is competing against Robert Lewandowski, a player from Barcelona. With 22 goals, Mbappé is only 4 away from surpassing the Polish forward's mark. However, after not taking his chance with Valencia, Mbappé didn't manage, at least, to get closer to obtaining this award.

As for the Golden Boot, Mbappé is currently in fifth position, tied with Mateo Retegui with 22 goals. Just 5 goals away from matching the leader, Mohamed Salah, Mbappé still has opportunities to achieve his goal.

Mbappé's Goals

Being criticized and questioned for his inconsistent performance at the beginning of the season, Mbappé managed to turn the situation around months ago. Accumulating a total of 33 goals and 5 assists this season in all competitions, the best Mbappé is back. Even so, the Frenchman knows the extra effort he must make to achieve his goals.

While Mbappé has stated that his goal is to help Real Madrid win titles, individual trophies are also relevant. Being close to reaching the top of both the Pichichi and the Golden Boot, Mbappé is focused on scoring more goals.

In the fight for the Pichichi, Mbappé only has to worry about a Lewandowski whose best years are a thing of the past. A different situation from the Golden Boot, where he has Gyökeres, Harry Kane, Lewandowski, and Mohamed Salah ahead of him.

Mbappé's Effort

With the season getting closer to ending, Kylian Mbappé knows he must work harder to achieve his goals. Known for being a player who always demands more from himself, Kylian Mbappé could make history in his first season with Real Madrid.
