Kylian Mbappé leading for Real Madrid - Most goals scored since the beginning of last season for top-5 league clubs

Kylian Mbappé’s prolonged transfer saga finally came to an end last summer when he transitioned from Paris Saint-Germain to Spanish giants Real Madrid on a free transfer. His inaugural season with Los Blancos didn’t go as planned; the team finished trophy-less, lost to rivals Barcelona in both La Liga and the Copa del Rey, and was eliminated in the Champions League quarter-finals by Arsenal. Mbappé bore a fair share of the criticism for the club’s struggles, yet individually, he has recorded remarkable statistics during his time in Spain.

The 26-year-old continued his impressive form into the new season, scoring twice in Madrid’s 3-0 victory against Real Oviedo last Sunday. As a result, he now boasts the impressive title of top scorer for any club in the top five leagues across all competitions since the start of last season—the moment he stepped onto the Santiago Bernabéu pitch. So, how significant is Mbappé’s lead, and who else is among the top 10 scorers? Let’s take a look.

Top Scorers in Top-5 League Clubs Since Last Season

Mbappé sits in first place with an impressive tally of 47 goals in 61 matches for Real Madrid across all competitions since his arrival at the Bernabéu. He has surpassed Harry Kane, who holds second place with 45 goals in 53 matches for Bayern Munich during the same period. In third place is Barcelona’s Robert Lewandowski, with 42 goals in 53 matches since the 2024/25 season began. Borussia Dortmund’s Serhou Guirassy, who also transferred in the same summer as Mbappé, is fourth with 40 goals in 52 matches. Finally, Erling Haaland rounds out the top five with 36 goals in 50 matches for Manchester City.

Top Scorers

In sixth place is Mohamed Salah, the Egyptian King of Liverpool, with 35 goals in 55 games since the start of the last campaign. Coming in seventh is Champions League winner Ousmane Dembélé, who has also scored 35 goals but in 56 matches for PSG. Raphinha holds eighth place, netting 35 goals across 59 games for Barcelona. In ninth, we find Atlético Madrid’s Julián Alvarez, who has scored 30 goals in 59 matches, while Bayer Leverkusen’s Patrick Schick rounds out the top 10 with 28 goals in 47 matches.
