January 25, 2025, will forever be etched in Kylian Mbappé’s memory as the day he scored his first hat-trick in a Real Madrid jersey.

The French forward is in unstoppable form, capping off a stellar January by closing the gap on Barcelona’s Robert Lewandowski in the race for the Pichichi. With his performance, Real Madrid now holds a 10-point lead over Julian Nagelsmann’s Barcelona, who face Valencia tomorrow.

Mbappé found the back of the net in the 30th, 57th, and 91st minutes, securing all three goals in Real Madrid’s 3-0 victory over Valladolid at the Estadio José Zorrilla. The dominant display reaffirmed Los Blancos' intent to remain the kings of Spanish football.

Since their stumble against Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup, Madrid has been relentless across all competitions – LaLiga EA Sports, Copa del Rey, and the UEFA Champions League – with Mbappé leading the charge.

Who is the top scorer in LaLiga?

Lewandowski remains the top scorer of the 2024/25 season with 16 goals in 19 matches, but his lead is no longer secure. Confirming his finest form since joining Real Madrid, Mbappé’s hat-trick brings him within one goal of the Polish striker:

  • Robert Lewandowski: 16 goals
  • Kylian Mbappé: 15 goals

The Pichichi race is heating up as Lewandowski will have the chance to extend his lead when Barça takes on Valencia this Sunday. Meanwhile, Atlético Madrid’s dropped points for a second consecutive matchday provide an opportunity for Barcelona to close the gap in the title race.

Mbappé’s remarkable season

Mbappé has now scored 22 goals this season, including 15 in LaLiga and eight in his last five appearances for Real Madrid. At just 26 years old, and after a slow start, the French forward is poised to make a major impact in Madrid’s upcoming Champions League and Copa del Rey fixtures, further solidifying his status as one of the world’s best.
