Mbappé Reigns Supreme in La Liga Once More

Kylian Mbappé has, at least temporarily, silenced his critics, proving that Real Madrid's club management made the right call in bringing the talented Frenchman to the Santiago Bernabéu. For the second consecutive year, he has claimed the top scorer title in La Liga. The 2018 World Cup winner with France found the net in Real's final match of the 38th round of the Spanish championship, a 4-2 home victory over Athletic Bilbao.

This goal marked his 25th of the season in the Iberian Peninsula's top flight, where the 'Royals' finished behind their arch-rivals Barcelona for the second year running.

In doing so, Mbappé became only the second player in the history of Spanish football, and the first in the 21st century, to finish his first two La Liga seasons as the league's top scorer. Isidro Lángara achieved this feat almost a century ago with Oviedo during the 1933/1934, 1934/1935 (and 1935/1936) campaigns, followed by Mario Alberto Kempes for Valencia in 1976/1977 and 1977/1978.

Now, Mbappé has the chance to surpass Isidro Lángara's record if he becomes La Liga's top scorer again in the upcoming 2026/2027 season. His ambition will be particularly high as he aims to help Real Madrid win their first significant trophy since his arrival in the Spanish capital. Since joining the Santiago Bernabéu, Mbappé has only secured two La Liga silver medals, one second-place finish and one Round of 16 exit in the Copa del Rey, two lost Spanish Super Cup finals, and two Champions League quarter-final appearances.
