MADRID — Kylian Mbappé has officially secured the 2025–26 La Liga top scorer award, claiming the Pichichi Trophy for the second year in a row. The Real Madrid forward solidified his place at the summit of the scoring charts by netting in his side's 4–2 victory over Athletic Bilbao on the final day of the season.

Dominance in Front of Goal

Mbappé’s efficiency remained the benchmark for forwards in Spain throughout the campaign. He finishes the season with an impressive tally of 25 league goals in just 31 appearances. This follows his previous campaign in 2024–25, where he notched 31 goals to claim his first Pichichi.

The race for the top honor was highly competitive, with Mallorca’s Vedat Muriqi providing a persistent challenge. Muriqi ultimately finished the campaign with 22 league goals, falling just short of the Frenchman in the closing weeks of the season.

A Legacy of Consistency

The capture of back-to-back Pichichi awards underscores Mbappé’s impact since arriving in La Liga. His goalscoring exploits have been central to Real Madrid’s offensive output, and his ability to perform under pressure evidenced by his strike against Bilbao has been a hallmark of his tenure at the Bernabéu.

With the domestic season now concluded, the French forward shifts his focus to the international stage, where he is set to lead his nation at the upcoming World Cup.
