This is the ranking of top scorers in LaLiga 2024-25 after matchday 21

The ranking of top scorers in LaLiga 2024-25 concludes matchday 21 with an increasingly intense head-to-head battle between Robert Lewandowski and Kylian Mbappé. The '9' of FC Barcelona broke a streak of three matches without scoring with the sixth goal of the bluegrana's rout against Valencia (7-1). The Pole came on in the 60th minute for Raphinha and, in the first opportunity he had, scored a stunning goal, his twenty-ninth of the season in 30 appearances across all competitions.

'Lewy' received a through ball from Fermín López, the undisputed 'MVP' of the match with a double of goals and assists. The experienced bluegrana forward broke the offside trap, anticipating to take a cross shot that was impossible for Mamardashvili. Robert hadn't scored in La Liga since the draw against Betis (2-2) on December 8. In the bluegrana rout, Raphinha also made a comeback, reaching 12 goals in the tournament just before the first quarter of an hour of play.

In the '14', the Brazilian took advantage of another great pass into space from Fermín to enter the area in stride, leaving Mamardashvili behind and finishing crosswise with his right foot, into an empty net against a Valencia defense that was completely helpless against the speed of '11'. Rafa had also gone four matches without scoring in the tournament, as he hadn't 'hit the net' since the 'five-goal' match against Mallorca (1-5) on December 3.

Kylian Mbappé closed the gap in the race for the Pichichi

On Saturday, Kylian Mbappé had put pressure on Lewandowski with his 'hat-trick' against Valladolid (0-3), his first triple with the Real Madrid jersey. The Bondy native reached 15 goals in LaLiga, where he has scored 6 goals in his last 4 appearances. Behind the Frenchman and Raphinha (12) is Ante Budimir, who was unable to score this match with Osasuna against Las Palmas (1-1).

Behind the 'rojillo' forward are, with 8 goals, Dodi Lukebakio (Sevilla), Kike García (Alavés), Vinicius Jr. (Real Madrid), Alexander Sorloth (Atlético de Madrid) and Ayoze Pérez (Villarreal). With 7 goals, there are eight other players, including Hugo Duro, who scored Valencia's consolation goal against Barça. In the next matchday, 'Lewy' will face Alavés (Sunday 2 in Montjuïc, at 14:00), while 'Kiki' will go against Espanyol on Saturday 1 in Cornellà, at 21:00)
