Kylian Mbappé secured the Golden Shoe for the first time as the best scorer of the European football leagues in the past season. At the end of a season, the Frenchman dusted at least two personal awards without a title with Real Madrid.
31 hits in La Liga brought the striker of Real Madrid not only in Spain, but also in comparison with the other top leagues of the continent. Mbappé landed in the rating in front of the Sweden Viktor Gyökeres (Sporting Lisbon) and Mohamed Salah (FC Liverpool) and is the first Golden Shoe winner from Real since Cristiano Ronaldo 2014/15.

The 26 -year -old benefited from a famous final sprint: In the final five league games, the Frenchman scored nine goals – including a double pack on Saturday at 2-0 over Real Sociedad. In addition, the French international benefits that his 31 goals were multiplied by factor 2 because the Spanish league is one of the top 5 leagues in Europe. Gyökeres scored 39 goals for Lisbon, landed in second place because of the factor 1.5, which applies to Portugal.
As the winner of the Golden Shoe, that of the European Sports Media (ESM), he follows Harry Kane from Bayern Munich, who triumphed last year. Kane became fifth this year, ex-Bayern striker Robert Lewandowski (FC Barcelona) came fourth. Because there is still a game day in Turkey, the final ranking will only be determined next weekend – but nothing will change at the upper placements.
