Kylian Mbappé’s 2024–25 La Liga Season – Golden Boot Winner

Real Madrid’s 2024–25 season ended trophyless, but Kylian Mbappé lit up La Liga with a stunning personal performance. The French striker scored 31 goals in 34 league matches, earning the La Liga Golden Boot (Pichichi) and even the European Golden Shoe. Despite a slow start, Mbappé’s goal tally was unmatched by any other player in Spain (and only second in Europe on goal count behind Sporting’s Gyökeres). His consistency helped Real stay in the title race for much of the year, even if the team ultimately fell short of silverware.

Domination in La Liga: 31 Goals and the Pichichi

Mbappé’s league stats are eye-popping. According to LaLiga’s official stats, he scored 31 goals and added 3 assists in 34 games. He took 122 shots and converted an impressive number of them (including 7 penalties). This output earned him 62 European Golden Shoe points, more than any other player in Europe’s top five leagues. Only Gyökeres (39 goals in Portugal) and Alex Tamm (34 goals in Estonia/Slovenia) had higher raw totals, but their league’s lower coefficient left Mbappé uncatchable with 62 points. In Spain, his 31 goals easily made him the Pichichi (Liga’s top scorer).

• La Liga 2024–25: 31 goals, 3 assists in 34 matches.
• European Golden Shoe: 62 points (second place Salah had 58).
• Penalties: 7 converted (most in the league).
• Matches: Started 34, with total 2915 minutes played.

These figures were confirmed on the official LaLiga site.

Record-Breaking Debut and Club Milestones

Mbappé’s 2024–25 campaign set new records at Real Madrid. He became the club’s highest-scoring debutant ever, surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo’s 37 goals. By season’s end he had 42 goals in all competitions, breaking Iván Zamorano’s 32-year-old debut-season record. He also became only the third Real player ever to win La Liga’s Golden Boot (after Ronaldo and Hugo Sánchez). These milestones underscore the magnitude of his achievement, even though Real Madrid failed to win league or cup titles. Mbappé himself acknowledged the bittersweet feeling: after a thrilling 4–3 loss in El Clásico where he scored a hat-trick, he wrote “Painful but we will come back. ¡Hala Madrid!”.

Key Moments and Match Highlights

Throughout 2024–25 Mbappé delivered match-winning performances. For example:

• He scored a hat-trick in the final El Clásico of the season, a 4–3 defeat to Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabéu.
• He netted two goals in the 2–0 win over Real Sociedad on May 24, 2025 – the final matchday – which sealed his 31-goal tally and the Golden Boot.
• He was a constant threat against every team: by late April he had scored in 11 consecutive league games, showcasing his consistency.

Each goal and assist was a rallying point for fans. Despite tough losses, Mbappé’s performances kept supporters hopeful. Internally, Real’s site noted his ability to adapt as a central striker, linking play and finishing clinical moves. Externally, match reports highlighted his speed, technical skill, and finishing from both open play and the penalty spot. These highlights added rich content for Real’s season narratives.

Impact and Outlook

With Carlo Ancelotti’s departure and Xabi Alonso incoming, Madrid will look to build around Mbappé’s form. As Mbappé himself hinted, the hunger will be greater next year.
