Mbappé Closing in on Lewandowski in Pichichi Race Ahead of El Clásico
The battle for the Pichichi Trophy in LaLiga 2024-25 is heating up. With only four games left, Robert Lewandowski leads the scoring chart with 25 goals, but now feels the heat from Kylian Mbappé, who has climbed to 24 goals after netting a brace in Real Madrid's 3-2 win over Celta Vigo.
Mbappé on Fire
The French star has been crucial in Real Madrid’s late-season push and is close to making history. In his first year in LaLiga, he could become the first Madrid player to win the Pichichi in his debut season since Ruud van Nistelrooy in 2007.
All eyes now turn to El Clásico, where Mbappé has a chance to take the lead—not only in the title race but in the goal-scoring charts as well.
Lewandowski Still Leading, but Not at 100%
Despite topping the table, Lewandowski has recently struggled with injury, slowing down his scoring rhythm. At 36 years old, the Polish striker remains a key part of Barcelona's attack, but his fitness ahead of the clash against Madrid remains uncertain.
The Barça coaching staff hopes to have him fully fit for the decisive match, one that could define not only LaLiga but also the individual honor of top scorer.
El Clásico Could Decide It All
With just four points separating Real Madrid and Barcelona, next weekend’s clash at the Santiago Bernabéu might be a title decider—and potentially settle the Pichichi race.
Can Mbappé complete the comeback and steal the crown? Or will Lewandowski hold on and reinforce his legacy?
