Reports confirm that Real Madrid will not win any of their usual major titles this season—La Liga, the UEFA Champions League, or the Copa del Rey. However, El Clásico provided an opportunity for Kylian Mbappé to take the lead in the race for the Pichichi Trophy. With 27 goals, he is two ahead of Robert Lewandowski (25 goals) and is now closer than ever to securing the award.

This personal milestone for Mbappé will be the team’s collective goal in their final three La Liga matches against Mallorca, Sevilla, and Real Sociedad.

Thus, it is confirmed that the French striker’s first season at Real Madrid, in terms of team titles, has not been particularly successful. However, his goal-scoring performance has been outstanding. Additionally, Real Madrid could reclaim the Pichichi Trophy, which they last won with Karim Benzema in the 2021-22 season (27 goals in 31 games). Mbappé is now on track to match Benzema’s tally with three games remaining.

This would be Real Madrid’s 29th Pichichi Trophy. The club holds the record for most Pichichi wins, compared to Barcelona’s 20. However, with three games left, the competition with Lewandowski is far from over.
