Mbappe Eyes Third Straight La Liga Golden Boot
18 Aug
Summary
- Kylian Mbappe aims for a third consecutive La Liga top scorer award.
- Real Madrid star is the overwhelming favorite for the 2026/27 Pichichi trophy.
- Lionel Messi holds the record for most La Liga goals and Golden Boot wins.
Kylian Mbappe is strongly favored to secure his third consecutive Pichichi trophy as La Liga's top scorer for the 2026/27 season. Despite two seasons of limited team success at Real Madrid, Mbappe has personally excelled, finishing as the league's leading goal scorer in each of his previous campaigns.
As of August 17, 2026, Mbappe is the clear runaway favorite, holding negative odds to lead the league. His challengers are expected to be Barcelona's Lamine Yamal and Raphinha, though their roles as playmakers may limit their direct scoring threat against Mbappe's world-class ability. The La Liga season concludes on May 30, 2027.
Last season, Mbappe secured his second Pichichi trophy, outpacing Verdat Muriqi by two goals, despite missing some matches due to injury. His strong first half of the season, scoring in 18 of his first 22 appearances, was crucial to his victory. The award, now known as the Pichichi, honors former Athletic Club striker Rafael "Pichichi" Moreno.
