Although Ligue 1 is generally dominated by Paris Saint-Germain, there has been the occasional surprise where players from other teams pulled off the unimaginable.
That was not the case in 2021-22, though, as Kylian Mbappe saw off Wissam Ben Yedder, Martin Terrier and Moussa Dembele to win the Ligue 1 Golden Boot.
Mbappe is among the favourites to win the coveted individual trophy once more this term, but he faces plenty of competition.
There's PSG team-mates Lionel Messi and Neymar who have been scoring at will throughout their careers, there's the aforementioned Ben Yedder and the likes of Jonathan David a Lille and Alexandre Lacazette at Lyon are proven goal scorers, too.
GettyAnd that's not even taken into account surprise packages like Florian Sotoca, Folarin Balgun and Terem Mofi!
