Viktor Gyokeres is still on top in the Golden Boot race, but Kylian Mbappé’s recent hat-trick against Barcelona has closed the gap between them. The Sporting striker now has a narrow one-point lead over Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah and a slim two-point advantage over Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappé. However, both Salah and Mbappé have an edge due to the higher coefficient of their goals, scored in more competitive leagues.
The current top contenders are:
- Viktor Gyokeres (Sporting/Sweden) – 38 goals, 57 points
- Mohamed Salah (Liverpool/Egypt) – 28 goals, 56 points
- Kylian Mbappé (Real Madrid/France) – 27 goals, 54 points
