Kylian Mbappe won the European Golden Shoe award after scoring more goals than his competitors. The Real Madrid forward beat Liverpool star Mohamed Salah and Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyökeres for the top prize. Mbappe found the net 31 times during La Liga matches and earned 62 total points. His goal total put him ahead of other top scorers across Europe. The French striker claimed the award for the first time in his career.
Viktor Gyökeres finished second with 39 goals in Portugal's top division and collected 58.5 points. Mohamed Salah took third place after netting 29 Premier League goals for 58 points. Robert Lewandowski from Barcelona scored 25 goals and plays against Bilbao tonight. The Polish striker cannot pass Mbappe's point total even with more goals. League rankings determine how officials count each goal toward the final score.
Top European leagues award their players two points per goal, while lower-ranked competitions give strikers one and a half points for each score. Mbappe becomes just the second French player to earn this honor. Thierry Henry was the first player from France to win the Golden Shoe. European football officials track goal totals from August through May each season.
