Real Madrid striker targets Mbappé

Fede Valerius Moriki’s first-half brace for Mallorca in their 3-0 win over Rayo Vallecano on Matchday 31 has intensified the race for La Liga’s top-scorer honour.

Muriqi opened the scoring in the 36th minute and doubled the lead four minutes later.

Jean Vergili added a third in the 65th minute, lifting Mallorca to 34 points and 15th place.

Moriki had also netted the winner in Mallorca’s 2-1 victory over Real Madrid in the previous round.

    The race is wide open, though Mbappé holds a slender advantage.

    Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappé currently leads La Liga’s scoring charts with 23 goals, with seven matches still to play.

    As newspaper AS notes, the race is likely to go down to the wire, with Mbappé holding a slim margin, but any slip-up in the remaining La Liga fixtures could change the picture.

    He holds a slim two-goal cushion over Fede Moriki, who has 21.

    Osasuna striker Ante Budimir occupies third with 16 goals, just one clear of fourth-placed Lamine Yamal.

    Ferran Torres occupies fifth place with 14 goals, having just scored a brace against Espanyol.
