The top scorers race in the French Ligue 1 is really going competitive as the goals keep coming from every direction as the season progresses. The current holder of the individual Award for this category has also worked hard in the past days to meet us with Fans’ expectations as he is looking fit for another glorious end to the season.
Paris Saint Germain’s Players are the leading force in the Scorers’ chart with Neymar and last season’s winner Kylian Mbappe searching for another honour this season with cool number of goals already. After playing just 6 games, Neymar has been able to score 7 whooping goals and 6 assists to lead the log even though he’s at par with Teammate, Mbappe. All of a sudden, the controversies surrounding his PSG’s future from the start of the season disappeared after going through a fine start to the season’s Campaign. As it looks, Neymar will surely be a major contender in the Top Scorers Race as he sets his eyes on the award.
There is no doubt that Kylian Mbappe is a major threat to Neymar being the top scorer in the Ligue 1 in previous seasons. The French international is 2nd on the log simply because of his inability to give Neymar a run for his money in terms of goals assists. Mbappe have also come from behind to score same goals as Neymar. There is no doubt that he will surely put a big fight to winning the award for the Top Scorer this season. Seven goals and still counting, he is not new to the bigger stages.
Lens’ Sotoca and Reims’s Balogun are 2 shinning stars from the start of the season that could easily contest for the Top Scorers Award based on their form and numbers. The duo both have 5 goals each after 6 games played. They are just 2 goals behind Neymar and Mbappe and with their current form, the PSG duo must watch their back as these hungry lions are ready to give a fight. For Lens’ Sotoca, his assist figure which is 2 can as well give him an edge as it increases.
Although Lille’s David and PSG’s Lionel Messi have 4 and 3 goals respectively, they are both dangerous to the current leaders because they are very unpredictable with the number of goals and assists they could get in games. For Messi, he has the highest number of assists as Neymar already, the current highest which signifies that getting more goals in subsequent games is just a matter of time.
The Goal Scorers’ chart will surely look competitive this season as the Ligue 1 seems to have started with more goals than what was expected. Do you think Neymar can dethrone Mbappe this season for the individual Award given to the highest goal scorer? Share your thoughts and follow for more information.
