Mbappé Claims Back-to-Back Pichichi Trophies Despite Real Madrid’s Trophy Drought

Kylian Mbappé has once again been crowned La Liga’s top scorer, securing his second consecutive Pichichi Trophy with 25 goals in the 2025/26 season. The French superstar edged out Mallorca’s Vedat Muriqi (23 goals) and Osasuna’s Ante Budimir (17 goals) to claim the prestigious award given by Marca.

Mbappé’s consistency has been remarkable since joining Real Madrid. After netting 31 goals and winning both the Pichichi and European Golden Shoe in his debut 2024/25 campaign, the 27-year-old delivered another clinical performance this term. His tally included several penalties, yet underscored his enduring elite finishing ability across 30 appearances.

However, individual brilliance could not translate into collective success for Los Blancos. Real Madrid endured a trophyless season — their first since 2020/21 — finishing second in La Liga behind champions Barcelona, suffering early exits in domestic cups, and falling in the Champions League quarter-finals.

Fans reacted with a mix of admiration for Mbappé’s scoring prowess and frustration over the team’s lack of silverware. Many rival supporters mocked the “only trophy” narrative, while Madridistas hailed his reliability amid squad challenges.The back-to-back Pichichi wins mark a historic feat for a Real Madrid player, the first repeat since the 1970s. As Mbappé continues to silence doubters with goals, questions remain whether future seasons will pair his personal dominance with the team trophies his talent deserves.
