According to reports, Mason Greenwood has made a significant impact in his debut season with Marseille, scoring 19 goals to match the legendary Didier Drogba’s record. However, he has the opportunity to achieve an even greater milestone.

Ousmane Dembélé has performed exceptionally this season, scoring 24 goals across all competitions. Until recently, he was the top scorer in all European leagues, but Victor Gyökeres surpassed him with 25 goals. Dembélé leads Ligue 1 with 21 goals but faces stiff competition from Mason Greenwood, who trails him by just two goals.

Dembélé’s recent dip in form has coincided with Greenwood’s exceptional performances, narrowing the gap between them to just two goals.

Ligue 1 Top Scorers:

Ousmane Dembélé (Paris Saint-Germain): 21 goals
Mason Greenwood (Marseille): 19 goals
Jonathan David (Lille): 16 goals
Emmanuel Emegha (Strasbourg): 14 goals
Arnaud Kalimuendo (Rennes): 14 goals

Greenwood has now become Marseille’s most beloved star. During his team’s 4-1 victory over Brest, he matched Didier Drogba’s historic record. Like Greenwood, Drogba shone in his first season with Marseille, scoring 19 goals in the 2003-04 season to become the club’s all-time top scorer. Now, Greenwood has an unexpected rival: Ousmane Dembélé.

In the post-Mbappé era, these two stars are competing for his throne: Mason Greenwood and Ousmane Dembélé. Before his transfer to Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappé won the Ligue 1 Golden Boot six seasons in a row. Undoubtedly, whoever claims the top scorer title after Mbappé will etch their name in Ligue 1 history.
