Kylian Mbappe’s season has had a disappointing end to the season. There is no doubt that the Frenchman imagined a few months ago that he was still in the running to win La Liga and the Champions League at this stage of the season. But Real Madrid has nothing left to play for and its image among the people of Madrid has deteriorated significantly. He will not be able to hold on even during the Clasico. The only satisfaction for him so far: he still tops the Pichichi ranking – top scorer in La Liga.
However, the International Tricolor is also at risk of losing this distinction, which is more honorable than anything else, it must be said. Actually, Vedat Muriki comes after him very strongly. This Sunday, the Kosovar scored a goal that helped Mallorca get a point against Villarreal (1-1). His is his twenty-second goal in La Liga this 2025/2026 financial year, while Kylian Mbappe’s twenty-fourth.
Going to a big club this summer?
It must be said that the former Lazio player has Mallorca at arm’s length. He scored more than half the goals for the island team, who scored forty-three times in total. Crazy statistics, especially for a player playing in a team at the bottom of the table, fifteenth, two short points above the red zone. Suffice it to say that it is entirely possible to imagine that he will match or even surpass Mbappé in the last three matches, especially since the Frenchman has not fully recovered from his physical problems and his participation in Real Madrid’s matches against Oviedo, against Sevilla and again against Athletic is uncertain.
A particularly powerful player in the aerial game – being one of the best in the world in this area – Muriqui has three matches to save his team from relegation on goals scored, displaying all his aggression on the field. This is also his main objective, and being ahead of Kylian Mbappe will not serve as a consolation prize if his team drops to the second division… and this summer, several clubs should be knocking on his door. Recently interest from FC Barcelona was also discussed, with offers also being made from major Turkish and Italian clubs. The next few weeks promise to be exciting for him!
