Kylian Mbappe leads the way in the Golden Boot race

The race for the Golden Boot, one of the most prestigious individual awards in European football, is heating up. Madrid's Kylian Mbappe is now among the main candidates.

France and Real Madrid striker Kylian Mbappe scored three goals against Barcelona in the last El Clasico, bringing his tally in La Liga to 27. This brings him to 54 points, making him the top three in the Golden Boot race. It is worth noting that in European national championships, each goal earns a player two points.

The current leader in the rankings is Portuguese striker Victor Diogorejos, who has scored 57 points with 38 goals. Liverpool star Mohamed Salah is in second place with 56 points with 28 goals.

Although Mbappe has entered the top three, he is followed by two other famous scorers - Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski and Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane. Both have scored 25 goals this season and have collected 50 points.

For your information, the Golden Boot is awarded to the player who scores the most goals in the national championships of UEFA members. In open championships (for example, Turkey, the Netherlands, Belgium), each goal is valued at 1.5 points, and in the championships of the top five (England, Spain, Italy, Germany and France) - 2 points.

Yesterday, Mbappe's hat-trick in the match against Barcelona took him to an even higher level. Now, in the final rounds, he may leave his rivals behind and become the main contender for the Golden Boot.
