Kylian Mbappé vs Robert Lewandowski: Who has more goals in all competitions this season?
Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappé on Saturday increased his advantage over Barcelona counterpart Robert Lewandowski when it comes to goals scored in all competitions this season.
This comes owing to the Frenchman's efforts in Rea Madrid's latest outing.
Los Blancos marked their return to action yesterday afternoon, playing host to Real Sociedad as part of the final round of fixtures of the La Liga campaign.
Frontman Mbappé for his part featured from the off in the clash, and proved himself the star of the show by way of both goals in a 2-0 Real Madrid triumph.
All told, the summer arrival in Spain has now found the net on a whopping 43 occasions across all competitions this season.
With just one game of his own to play, Barcelona hitman Robert Lewandowski, meanwhile, sits three back, on 40 goals all told.
The latter therefore requires a hat-trick against Athletic Club later today to draw level with Mbappé in the list of top goalscorers across Europe's top-five leagues in 2024/25.

French police detain dozens after football celebrations
French authorities detained 79 people in the second such wave of arrests during celebrations following Paris Saint-Germain's football Champions League win, a police chief said Monday. The PSG thrashed Inter Milan by a record 5-0 in Saturday evening's final in Munich, flying back to Paris on Sunday for a triumphal parade along the Champs Elysees, then celebrations in a packed Parc des Princes stadium on the edge of the French capital. The PSG winning the biggest prize in European club football for the first time sparked delirious festivities in France, but was marred by violence. On Sunday, "we saw a resurgence of individuals driven by malicious intent who were not really PSG supporters," Paris police chief Laurent Nunez told RTL radio. "We arrested 79 people, some of them in the night," he said, adding that order had been restored before dawn. Some were detained over taking barriers and briefly blocking the ring road around Paris, while others had tried to vandalise businesses or fired fireworks on the Champs Elysees, he said. On Saturday night, police had made more than 500 arrests across France, the interior ministry said, after more than 200 cars were torched and police clashed with youths. In the southwest town of Dax, a 17-year-old boy died after being stabbed in the chest. A 23-year-old man riding a scooter in central Paris also died after being hit by a vehicle. A policeman was in an induced coma after being injured by a firework. Receiving the triumphant team at the Elysee palace on Sunday, French President Emmanuel Macron condemned what he called "unacceptable" violence during the festivities. Many of the stars of the team, one of the youngest in the competition, are drawn from the huge football talent pool in the Paris suburbs after PSG's Qatari owners turned their back on the policy of signing star players like Neymar and Lionel Messi. A total of 11.5 million people tuned in across France to watch the match. mca/ah/yad

Saint-Étienne make Irvin Cardona move permanent
Foot Mercato understands that AS Saint-Étienne have made Irvin Cardona's (27) move to the club permanent. The Frenchman returned to Saint-Étienne, where he spent the second half of the 2023/24 season, on loan in January. He had joined Espanyol on loan at the start of last season, however, that loan was cut short by parent club Augsburg in the winter, allowing Cardona to re-join Les Verts. Advertisement Despite netting five goals in 15 Ligue 1 appearances, he could not prevent Saint-Étienne from making a swift return to Ligue 2. However, he will still make his move to the club permanent. As per Foot Mercato, ASSE have triggered the buy option included in the deal. He will therefore join in a deal worth €2.5m and sign a contract that will run until the summer of 2028. The centre-forward will be looking to guide Les Verts back into the first division next season. GFFN | Luke Entwistle

FC Barcelona 'accelerating' plans to buy cut-price Marcus Rashford with new position in mind
Barcelona are pushing hard in their attempts to sign Manchester United's Marcus Rashford, with superagent Pini Zahavi brokering the deal. This is according to Sacha Tavolieri of Sky Sports Switzerland, who has provided an important update on the future of the United star this morning. Advertisement Tavolieri says Barça 'want to accelerate' their pursuit of the Wythenshawe man and that 'discussions have already been held this week between the player's entourage, super-agent Pini Zahavi, and FC Barcelona to lay the groundwork for a personal agreement.' It has been previously reported that Rashford is desperate to sign for the Blaugrana, with some reports claiming the Catalans have asked him to refuse all other clubs to try to force United to loan him to them. However, Tavolieri reports that it is a transfer rather than a loan that is under discussion, with the stumbling block being Rashford's exorbitant wages. 'Although Rashford's salary at Manchester United is difficult for Barça to achieve, [Barça president] Joan Laporta's idea is to extend the contract from four to five years in order to align with the player's entourage's demands and thus make the offer economically viable,' the reporter claims. Advertisement The reporter also insists that United will not get the £40 million for Rashford that they had agreed with Aston Villa, who took the 27 year old on loan for six months last season. Barcelona are expecting to pay between €35m and €40 million, equivalent to between £29 million and £33 million. It's a figure that will disappoint both Ineos and United fans for a player whose market value is €50 million / £42 million as per The report also claims that Rashford has also got an idea in mind of where he expects to fit in Hansi Flick's system. This is to play up top in the number nine role, 'to free up space on the wings to allow Raphinha and Lamine Yamal to be even more effective.' In other words, Rashford is looking to be Robert Lewandowski's successor at the Camp Nou. Advertisement It is natural for Rashford to want to play in one of the best teams in Europe, but that very issue – how he will usurp any of the superb forwards already at the club to claim a regular first team spot – is one that he could find harder to resolve than he imagines. The most likely scenario is that Rashford will be a squad player at the Camp Nou. Whatever the case, for United the priority is to get the deal done and get some cash in for the wantaway star. Whether they will be willing to accept £33 million, only time will tell, but it does not feel like a situation that is going to be easy to 'accelerate', whatever Barcelona might think.
