An extraordinary feat by Salah would be needed...
With a double, Kylian Mbappé reached the milestone of 31 goals in the league this season. A performance that allows the captain of the Blues to take the lead in the Golden Boot ranking over Viktor Gyökeres!
Thanks to the coefficient system (number of goals scored x2 for the top 5 European leagues, number of goals x1.5 or x1 for others), Mbappé's total now stands at 60 points (30 goals ×2), compared to 58.5 (39 goals x1.5) for Gyökeres, who finished his season in the Portuguese league.
Mbappé is therefore on the verge of winning this prestigious individual award, for his very first season at Real Madrid!
The only two players capable of snatching the top spot from him are Mohamed Salah and Robert Lewandowski, who will face Crystal Palace and Athletic Bilbao respectively this Sunday.
If the Egyptian scores a hat-trick, he will equal the French striker. A quadruple would allow him to claim the title. As for Lewandowski, he would need to score at least five goals to hope to catch up with the Frenchman.
Note that in the event of a tie, the players share the trophy.
NB: only goals scored in the league are counted in this Golden Boot ranking
