Mbappe finished the season with 25 league goals, sealing top scorer status ahead of Mallorca’s Vedat Muriqi who ended on 23, while Osasuna’s Ante Budimir placed third with 17. 

With this, he becomes the first player since Ronaldo in 2014–15 to retain the Pichichi at the club. Over the last 38 years, only a select group of legends, including Messi, have managed back-to-back top scorer titles in Spain’s top flight.

The former PSG star also topped La Liga for total shots with 63 with Muriqi registering 50 and Vinícius Jr 46.
