Kylian Mbappe has now capped off a sensational debut season at Real Madrid by winning the 2025 European Golden Boot.
The French striker netted 31 goals in La Liga, making him the top scorer across Europe's top five leagues.
It's a remarkable achievement for Mbappe, who not only adapted seamlessly to life in Spain but also thrived under pressure.
Despite Real Madrid dealing with numerous injuries throughout the season, the 25-year-old carried the team's attack with consistency and quality. His 31 league goals earned him 62 points in the Golden Boot ranking — enough to outscore all other contenders.

Portuguese league top scorer Viktor Gyökeres may have scored 39 goals, but the lower coefficient of Liga Portugal (1.5 compared to La Liga's 2.0) saw him fall behind in points.
Mohamed Salah was also in contention late into the campaign, but the Liverpool star was unable to bridge the gap in the final matchday.
This is Mbappé's first Golden Boot win, placing him alongside Real Madrid legends like Hugo Sanchez and Cristiano Ronaldo as one of the few players from the club to win this award.
Beyond La Liga, Mbappé finished the season with 42 goals in all competitions, proving to be the defining figure in Real Madrid's campaign.

Ancelotti defends Real Madrid sensation amid poor international displays – ‘Convinced he will show his best firm'
Ancelotti defends Real Madrid sensation amid poor international displays – 'Convinced he will show his best firm' Carlo Ancelotti has started his journey as Brazil's head coach with enthusiasm and optimism, especially when it comes to Vinicius Jr. In his first press conference before Brazil's match against Ecuador, the former Real Madrid manager could not stop praising the 24-year-old forward. Advertisement According to Ancelotti, his first few training sessions with the national team have been 'something special,' and he is determined to bring the best version of Vinicius to the Brazil shirt. Vinicius Jr., who has just recovered from a minor ankle injury, is set to feature in Ancelotti's debut match on the sidelines for Brazil. 'Vini is fine and is motivated as always,' said the Italian coach. 'We expect the best from him. He is obviously a key player for us.' Bringing club form to country Ancelotti is aware of the ongoing debate about why Vinicius has not quite replicated his Real Madrid form for the national team. Ancelotti is confident that Vinicius will perform for Brazil. (Photo by) However, he expressed complete confidence that it is only a matter of time before that changes. Advertisement 'He may not have shown his best yet in the Brazil shirt, but I'm convinced he will,' Ancelotti said. 'At Madrid, he's proved time and again that he's a game-changer. We have to work to ensure he feels the same here,' added the new Brazil head coach He emphasised that Vinicius is fundamental to his plans, even if performances occasionally dip. 'He might not always be at his best, but his qualities are unique. He's unpredictable and can shift the momentum of any game. That's why he's so vital to us,' Ancelotti concluded. Vinicius' form for the Brazil national team has been questionable, but now with Ancelotti at helm, the South American nation has enough optimism to hope for a better output from the Real Madrid forward.

FC Barcelona Has Door Opened To Julian Alvarez Signing
The agent of Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez, Fernando Hidalgo, opened the door to FC Barcelona pursuing the Argentine with comments he made this week. The former Manchester City marksman has scored against Barca a number of times already in his thus far short career, and is being talked up as a potential long-term heir of Robert Lewandowksi's number 9 shirt in Blaugrana in 2026. That's the year the Pole's contract expires on June 30, and given he'll be approaching his 38th birthday by then, 'Lewa' is likely to move on and continue his career in another country such as the United States. 'The day to day is at Atletico. We will see how the negotiation is. Football is very changeable. They will have to communicate with the club, which will evaluate the situation, and there will be a negotiation between the three parties,' Hidalgo first explained. Hidalgo explained that many clubs have shown interest in his client, but that playing for Barca is a dream for Alvarez because of his idol being Qatar 2022 teammate Lionel Messi. 'He received many calls, but Atletico's position is that Julian continues next season. He has admiration for Spanish clubs and, having followed Leo's career since he was a child, I don't think there are many Argentines who don't have a feeling for Barca, especially with how the team played this season,' Hidalgo teased. Furthermore, Alvarez is 'very grateful' to many Culers and those connected to the club that 'have always spoken very well of him', with Pau Cubarsi mentioned specifically. 'That makes him motivated,' Hidalgo concluded, with Alvarez at present set to face the defender on opposite sides of the ball in La Liga for at least another year before they possibly become teammates. Notorious for getting as much money as possible from FC Barcelona when it can, Atletico Madrid won't make signing Alvarez easy. The club from the capital paid €75 million plus €15 million in variables for him from City not even 10 months ago, and the 25-year-old's value has only increased off the back of a more-than-impressive maiden term in Spain.

Liverpool are BIG admirers of €30m-rated Spanish jewel
Liverpool are facing uncertainty in the centre-back position. Although Virgil van Dijk has been secured to a contract until 2027, his defensive colleagues are not so sure of their futures. Ibrahima Konate is out of contract in 2026 and so far no breakthrough has been reached in talks over a new deal. If sporting director Richard Hughes doesn't succeed in tying him down then the Frenchman could well be sold this summer. Advertisement Also up for debate are Jarell Quansah and Joe Gomez. Quansah, 22, could be sacrificed if the club manage to attract a decent fee while Gomez might well be sold having come close to joining either Aston Villa or Newcastle last year. If any of those three leaves then it opens a vacancy in the centre of Liverpool's defence. We've seen Jorrel Hato linked, along with Jarrad Branthwaite and others but there is another name now on the list and one which will be familiar to incoming Reds goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili. Liverpool like Cristhian Mosquera Cristhian Mosquera, 20, was outstanding for Valencia in LaLiga last season. The Spanish defender played 37 times for Los Che - ranking highly on FOTMOB for tackles won, duels won, interceptions and recoveries. Advertisement Mosquera has a contract which expires at the Mestalla in 2026 and this summer the club could be prepared to listen to transfer offers for their homegrown star. And now according to a new report on Caught Offside, Liverpool are tracking the youngster - although he could end up at RB Leipzig as a stepping stone before going to the Premier League. 'Liverpool are big admirers of Mosquera, who is also on Chelsea's radar and whose asking price would be in the region of €30m,' a report reads. Mosquera likely to go to Leipzig 'Tottenham, Crystal Palace and West Ham have also been monitoring Mosquera, but it's currently felt that he's leaning towards a move to RB Leipzig. Advertisement 'The player and his representatives feel he could be best served by a move to the Bundesliga before perhaps joining a top English club later.' Leipzig have successfully offloaded players like Konate, Naby Keita and Dominik Szoboszlai to the Reds over the years and if Mosquera follows suit then in the years ahead they could be back once again.
