La Liga top goal scorers 2025/26: Golden Boot rankings in Spain as Mbappe leads Pichichi rankings originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Kylian Mbappe may have finished the 2024/25 season without a collective trophy at Real Madrid, but his first season in white can be considered an individual success as he ran away with the La Liga top goal scorer award.
It certainly looks like he could defend the prize given his impressive goal-scoring performances in 2025/26, which have come despite Madrid's wider dysfunction.
With Barcelona leading the La Liga title chase nearly all season, Lamine Yamal has put himself near the top of the league's goal scoring charts as well, but a late-season injury for the young superstar could impact not only his chances for the Pichichi trophy, but maybe puts his World Cup participation in jeopardy as well.
The Sporting News will be tracking the Golden Boot race in La Liga from the season's opening kickoff right until the final matchday.

Who won the La Liga Golden Boot in 2024/25?
After securing a long-awaited move to Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappe won the 2024/25 Pichichi award by scoring six goals more than anyone else across the season.
While Mbappe's debut campaign in the Spanish capital was triumphant in this manner, he still garnered significant criticism that his presence hampered the team collectively despite the individual success. Real Madrid finished trophy-less while Mbappe's teammates struggled to adapt to his presence, leaving the individual award with a bitter aftertaste.
