LaLiga Top Scorers: Mbappé surpasses Lewandowski in the fight for the 'Pichichi'

In matchday 35 of LaLiga 24-25, the top scorer ranking is now led by Kylian Mbappé of Real Madrid, with 27 goals and a 2-goal lead over Kylian Mbappé of FC Barcelona (25).

The '9' of Madrid scored a 'hat-trick' in his team's defeat in the Clásico (3-2), taking advantage of two refereeing errors in the first half (an offside and a previous foul not sanctioned) to assume the lead for the Pichichi.

Robert Lewandowski, meanwhile, is now second with 25 goals, after missing the last three matchdays due to physical problems. The Pole was a substitute in the Clásico and hopes to return to the fight for the scoring title against Espanyol.

🥅 Mbappé surpasses Lewandowski after the Clásico

Mbappé opened the scoring in the Clásico in the 5th minute, after a penalty committed by Szczesny. The '9', however, was offside in the previous pass from Fede Valverde, so the penalty should have been disallowed.

In the 14th minute, the Frenchman extended the lead after an assist from Vinicius, preceded by a clear stamp by Valverde on Lamine Yamal not noticed by Hernández Hernández, the linesman and the VAR.

Then, in the 70th minute, 'Kiki' scored for Madrid taking advantage of another assist from Vini to shoot Szczesny. This was the second 'hat-trick' that the Frenchman has scored against Barça (the first, with PSG in 2021, in the Champions League).

Now, Mbappé has a 2-goal lead over Lewandowski with only 3 matchdays to go. The fight for the Pichichi continues this week, with the Frenchman hosting Mallorca (Wednesday) and the Pole looking to reappear against Espanyol (Thursday).

Thus, the ranking of top scorers in LaLiga EA Sports 2024/25 keeps Kylian Mbappé as leader (27), now with only 2 goals ahead of Robert Lewandowski (25). The Pole has lost his lead after missing the duels against Mallorca, Valladolid and Real Madrid.

📌 Raphinha is now third behind Mbappé and Lewandowski

Behind Mbappé and Lewandowski are now Raphinha and Ante Budimir (Osasuna), with 18 goals. The Brazilian equaled the Croatian after scoring another brace (second of the season) against Madrid in the first half, with which he reached 34 goals in the 24/25 season.

Further back appears Alexander Sorloth (17), author of a poker against Real Sociedad (4-0), while Ayoze Pérez (Villarreal) remains with 16 goals.
