Kylian Mbappé scoops the Golden Boot for the 24/25 season | OneFootball

Kylian Mbappé continues stacking up records and individual awards. This Friday, the French forward was awarded the Golden Shoe for the 2024/25 season, a trophy given to the top scorer in Europe's national championships. The Real Madrid forward won the award after scoring 31 goals in LaLiga last season.

“This is an important moment for me. This is the first time I have won this award, and it means a lot for a forward. I would like to thank all my teammates, thank you for always helping me. Thanks to them, I have become my best version. We have an incredible group, and I hope we can win a lot this year,” said the Frenchman.

In total, Mbappé finished last season with 44 goals for Real Madrid and won the Intercontinental with the club.

Already this season, the Frenchman has 11 goals in 10 games in the Spanish Championship and is expected to compete for the award again.

Understand the Golden Shoe criteria

Although Gyokeres scored 38 goals for Sporting in the Portuguese Championship, Mbappé had an advantage in the scoring. This happens because goals scored in the main European leagues (Germany, Spain, Italy, England, and France) are worth two points, while those in leagues ranked from sixth to 20th place are worth 1.5 points.

Thus, Mbappé accumulated 62 points against the Swedish forward's 58.5, securing his first Golden Shoe.
