Kylian Mbappé vs Robert Lewandowski: Pichichi race latest after Real Madrid star’s brace vs Villarreal
The race for the top-scorer prize in Spain’s top-flight has on Saturday evening become an altogether more closely-contested one.
This comes owing to developments in Real Madrid’s meeting with Villarreal.
Los Blancos marked their return to action a short time ago, making the trip to La Ceràmica for a La Liga clash.
When all was said and done, Carlo Ancelotti’s troops recovered from an early goal down, to ultimately emerge triumphant by two goals to one.
And responsible for both of Real’s goals on the evening, on his way to Man of the Match honours, was star frontman Kylian Mbappé.
The summer arrival in Spain’s capital has now hit the 20-goal mark in his debut campaign in La Liga.
This is just one fewer than managed by Barcelona veteran Robert Lewandowski, who currently leads the Pichichi standings with 21 goals to his name.
Can the Pole respond by adding to his tally against Atlético Madrid on Sunday?
