Kylian Mbappe has claimed the Pichichi Trophy for the second consecutive season, awarded to La Liga's top scorer. The French forward netted his 25th league goal in Real Madrid's 4-2 win against Athletic Bilbao on May 24, solidifying his individual achievement.
Mbappe's goal came in the 50th minute, extending Real Madrid's lead to 3-1. He concluded his season with a remarkable tally of 42 goals in 44 games across all competitions for Real Madrid.
