Real Madrid's 2024-25 season review 📝
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇫🇷 here. The 2024-25 season has come to an end for Real Madrid, what's the verdict? The arrival and integration of Kylian Mbappé, without a doubt. After a transfer saga that lasted several years, the French world champion landed in the Spanish capital from PSG. His adaptation was initially mixed with goals in La Liga, but also absences in big games like the October Clasico, or the clashes against Milan and Liverpool in the Champions League. And then, there was a turning point! Author of a sensational match against Manchester City, the French striker rediscovered his genius. He finishes the season with 43 goals. No one has ever done better in their first season at Real. Enough to win the Golden Shoe 2024-25! A season without a title is always a failure for Real Madrid. Second in La Liga and runner-up in the Copa del Rey and the Supercopa, the Madrid institution never managed to compete with a much stronger Barça. In the four Clasicos played, the Merengues suffered major setbacks, conceding at least four goals each time. Unprecedented! The defense was often the weak point for the Merengues. In La Liga, 38 goals were conceded, and Ancelotti's men only rank 5th among the league's defenses. Too light to claim the title. A bit like in La Liga, a Real that doesn't make it to the Champions League semifinals is a Real that has failed. After a contrasting group stage where the partners of Vinicius lost three times, including against Lille, the defending champion got back on track. We won't forget the crazy match against City in the round of 16 with two victories. The derby against Atlético also showed the collective strength that this team could muster. We also saw its limitations against Arsenal, where no miracle happened with two clear defeats (2-1, 3-0) in the quarterfinals. Among the satisfactions of Real's season, we can mention Kylian Mbappé, the top scorer, but also Vinicius, the top assist provider. If the duo didn't always work, this season of fine-tuning still brought some nice certainties for next year. Among the satisfactions, we can also mention Bellingham, who confirmed his status as an indispensable player, but also Federico Valverde, versatile, reliable, and decisive. Recurring injuries also weighed heavily on Real this season. Eder Militao, injured in the ligaments, hasn't played since November. In defense, David Alaba and Ferland Mendy also missed several weeks of competition. There were also more inconsistent profiles like Brahim Diaz and Rodrygo. The major works have already begun with the official arrivals of Dean Huijsen and Xabi Alonso, pending Trent Alexander-Arnold. We can imagine that the Merengue club will seek to strengthen its defense and midfield. Among the rumored targets, we're talking about Alvaro Carreras and Florian Wirtz. To be continued!

Mbappe adds a little lustre to Real season with Golden Shoe
Real Madrid may have won no trophies, but their French Galactico Kylian Mbappe ended his first season in Spain by collecting two individual scoring awards: the European Golden Shoe and the award for top scorer in La Liga. Mbappe scored twice in Real Madrid's final league game on Saturday to overtake Viktor Gyokeres, whose league season at Sporting Lisbon ended the previous week, at the top of the weighted table which counts only league goals. Mbappe ended with 31 league goals as he became the third Real Madrid player to win the award, after Mexicans Hugo Sanchez (1989-1990) and Cristiano Ronaldo (2010-2011, 2013-2014, 2014-2015). The last Frenchman to collect the Golden Shoe was Thierry Henry, who won it in 2004 and 2005 with Arsenal. Mbappe could have been caught on Sunday, while he was in Monaco watching the Formula One Grand Prix. Mohammed Salah, who needed a hat-trick in English champions Liverpool's last league game, scored once to finish third with 29 goals. Barcelona's Robert Lewandowski, already certain to finish ahead of Real Madrid in the race for the Spanish league title, scored twice at Bilbao. He totalled 27 goals, for fourth place in Europe and second in the Pichichi, the award for the top scorer in La Liga. The Pole won the Golden Shoe twice with Bayern and claimed the Pichichi in 2023. Last year's Golden Shoe winner, Harry Kane, finished fifth with 26 Bundesliga goals to go with his league champion's medal at Bayern Munich. Mateo Retegui, with 25 for Atalanta, was the top Serie A player, in sixth place. Gyokeres out-scored Mbappe with 39 goals, but the table is weighted. Each goal in the 'big five' European competitions -- La Liga, Premier League, Bundesliga, Ligue 1 and Serie A -- is doubled. For the next 16 ranked leagues, goals are multiplied by 1.5. Below that a goal is just a goal. Estonian Alex Tamm totalled 34 league goals, spread over two seasons but finished only 27th. He hit 28 for Kalju in his native Estonia, which plays a summer season, and six more after moving to Olimpija Ljubljana in Slovenia in Februray.

Kylian Mbappe wins European Golden Shoe award for first time
Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappe has ended his first season in Spain by collecting the European Golden Shoe award. Mbappe, who also won the Pichichi Trophy for being the top goal scorer in La Liga, scored twice in Real's final league game on Saturday to overtake Sporting Lisbon's Viktor Gyokeres at the top of the weighted table, which counts only league goals. Mbappe, 26, ended with 31 league goals and became the third Real Madrid player to win the award after Hugo Sanchez and Cristiano Ronaldo. The last Frenchman to collect the Golden Shoe was Thierry Henry, who won it in 2004 and 2005 with Arsenal. Mbappe could have been caught on Sunday while he was in Monaco watching the Formula One Grand Prix. Mohamed Salah, who needed a hat-trick in English champions Liverpool's last league game, scored once to finish third with 29 goals. Robert Lewandowski of Barcelona, already certain to finish ahead of Real Madrid in the race for the Spanish league title, scored twice on Sunday at Bilbao. He achieved a total of 27 goals for fourth place in Europe and second in the Pichichi. The Pole won the Golden Shoe twice with Bayern Munich and claimed the Pichichi in 2023. Last year's Golden Shoe winner, Harry Kane, finished fifth with 26 Bundesliga goals to go with his league champions medal at Bayern. Mateo Retegui with 25 for Atalanta was the top Serie A player in sixth place. Gyokeres outscored Mbappe with 39 goals, but the table is weighted. Each goal in the 'big five' European competitions – La Liga, Premier League, Bundesliga, Ligue 1 and Serie A – is doubled. For the next 16 ranked leagues, goals are multiplied by 1.5. Below that, a goal is just a goal. In the final calculations, the top five in the rankings were as follows: Mbappe (62 points), Gyokeres (58.5), Salah (58), Robert Lewandowski (54) and Harry Kane (52). Mbappe, the top scorer in the 2022 World Cup, hit 43 goals in all competitions for Real this season.

Kylian Mbappe wins first European Golden Shoe in stellar debut season for Real Madrid
Kylian Mbappe has been crowned the European Golden Shoe winner for the first time, following a sensational debut season with Real Madrid. The French forward scored 31 league goals, securing both the coveted Golden Shoe and La Liga's top scorer award. Mbappe's double in Real Madrid's 2-0 victory over Real Sociedad on Saturday propelled him to the top of the European rankings. His goals sealed his place ahead of Sporting CP's Victor Gyokeres, who finished second with 39 goals, and Liverpool's Mohamed Salah, who scored 29. Despite Gyokeres' impressive tally, he was unable to match Mbappe's points, as the rankings use a weighted points system. Goals scored in Europe's top five leagues — including La Liga, the Premier League, Bundesliga, Serie A, and Ligue 1 — are awarded two points each, while goals from players in lower-ranked leagues receive 1.5 points. Mbappe's final tally of 62 points was enough to clinch the prize, with Gyokeres trailing on 58.5 points. Salah, who needed a hat-trick to catch Mbappe, managed just one goal in Liverpool's 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace. The 25-year-old now joins an elite group of Real Madrid players to have won the prestigious award, with Hugo Sanchez (1989-90) and Cristiano Ronaldo (2010-11, 2013-14, 2014-15) previously claiming the honour. Gyokeres, who has been heavily linked with a summer move to Arsenal, ended his season with 53 goals in 51 matches across all competitions. Salah, who finished with 58 points, will have to wait for his chance to win the Golden Shoe once again. The final top five in the rankings were as follows: Mbappe (62 points), Gyokeres (58.5), Salah (58), Robert Lewandowski (54), and Harry Kane (52).
