    Lewandowski and Mbappe’s Battle for Pichichi in El Clasico

    Intense Competition for the Pichichi Trophy

    Lewandowski and Mbappe’s Battle in El Clasico

    The upcoming match between Barcelona and Real Madrid holds special significance for Robert Lewandowski and Kylian Mbappe.

    Lewandowski and Mbappe's Battle in El Clasico

    Barcelona and Real Madrid will face off next Sunday at Montjuïc Stadium in one of the most crucial clashes of the season, a match that could determine the fate of the La Liga title or further complicate the race. Alongside the title battle, a fierce competition for the Pichichi Trophy is also heating up.

    Lewandowski leads the La Liga scoring charts with 25 goals in 31 matches, just one goal ahead of Mbappe, who has scored 24 goals in 30 games. With only four matchdays remaining, everything remains uncertain.

    The Polish striker missed Barcelona’s last two La Liga matches due to a left hamstring injury sustained against Celta Vigo at Montjuïc. In his absence, Ferran Torres and Pau Víctor filled in against Mallorca and Valladolid, respectively. However, Hansi Flick gave Lewandowski minutes in the 3-4 Champions League defeat to Inter, suggesting he may be ready for El Clasico.

    On the other side, Mbappe took full advantage of Lewandowski’s absence, scoring twice in last week’s match against Celta Vigo at the Bernabéu. The French star had previously scored against Barcelona this season—a stunning free-kick in the Copa del Rey final, which Real lost 2-3, and a goal in the Spanish Super Cup final, where Ancelotti’s side fell 2-5 to Barça.

    Further down the scoring charts, Osasuna’s Ante Budimir sits third with 18 goals, two ahead of Raphinha, who is fourth with 16 goals.

    Everything points to a decisive and thrilling El Clasico at Montjuïc, where both the La Liga title and the Pichichi race could be decided.
