The French star strengthens his lead

French striker Kylian Mbappé, forward of Real Madrid, remains alone at the top of LaLiga’s scoring chart after netting his fifth goal of the season in the victory over Espanyol. With this strike, the Merengue forward keeps his lead in the pichichi race with five goals, confirming his strong start to the campaign in Spain.

Just one goal behind are Kosovo’s Vedat Muriqi, who was decisive in Mallorca’s draw against Atlético de Madrid, and Ferran Torres, who scored twice to lead Barcelona to a solid win over Getafe.

The chasers keep the race alive

The battle for the golden boot is heating up with several names joining the list of contenders. Borja Iglesias of Celta, Cameroon’s Karl Etta Eyong, and Iván Romero of Levante all reached three goals, joining the likes of Raphinha of Barcelona, Rafa Mir of Elche, Pere Milla of Espanyol, Adrián Liso of Getafe, and Canadian international Tajon Buchanan of Villarreal.
