Mbappe heads off Gyokeres and Salah to land his first ESM European Golden Shoe
KEIR RADNEDGE REPORTS: Kylian Mbappe may not have won a team trophy with Real Madrid in his first season in Spain but he has landed the ESM European Golden Shoe rewarding Europe’s top league marksman for the first time.
Two goals in Madrid’s LaLiga-ending 2-0 defeat of Real Sociedad lifted the France striker to 31 league goals also earning him the domestic Trofeo Pichichi. Runner-up in the Golden Shoe chase was Sporting Lisbon’s Victor Gyokeres (39 goals) and Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah (29).
Gyokeres finished behind Mbappe because the ranking is determined by a weighted points-based system based on national strength according to the UEFA coefficients.
Goals scored by players competing in Europe’s top five leagues – Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1 – are worth two points. Goals from those who play in leagues ranked sixth to 22nd in Uefa’s coefficient, including the Portuguese Primeira Liga, are worth 1.5 points.
Mbappe is only the third Madrid player to win the award, after Hugo Sanchez (1989-90) and Cristiano Ronaldo (2010-11, 2013-14 and 2014-15).
