Lewandowski vs Mbappé: Pichichi standings as Barcelona star hits back | OneFootball

Altogether noteworthy fresh developments in the race for the top-scorer prize in La Liga were forthcoming on Sunday evening.

This comes owing to the action in front of goal in Barcelona’s meeting with Girona.

Hansi Flick’s troops are fresh off making it two victories in the space of less than 72 hours, at the expense of Catalan rivals Girona.

After the Blaugrana found themselves locked at a goal apiece during the 2nd-half on Sunday, veteran frontman Robert Lewandowski stepped up when his teammates needed him most.

The Pole notched for himself a fine brace, to keep alive what has been a superb individual campaign to date.

Not only that, but Lewandowski, in addition, took back firm control of the Pichichi race in Spain’s top-flight.

After Kylian Mbappé’s latest double on Saturday night saw the Real Madrid man close to within just a solitary goal of his Barca counterpart atop the standings, Lewandowski has broken away once more.

The latter now sits on 25 goals, to Mbappé’s 22.
