Lewandowski and Mbappe continue their battle, but they seem static now.
...
Lewandowski still has poor efficiency, a low percentage of scoring chances, he is lucky that this season he has much more of these chances. It is generally a pity that so far Mbappe (or someone else) has not raised the bar to the level of the Ronaldo-Messi era, now the favorite for the golden boot is Salah with 25 goals scored. But this is a ridiculous figure if you remember the past. La Liga must regain its leadership in this area.
From the statistical data, I see that Lewandowski's goal-scoring statistics are still better than Mbappe's and Lewandowski has scored 21 goals in the local league while Mbappe has scored 17 goals, Lewandowski's chances of becoming the top scorer in La Liga this season are much greater.
To be honest, people really miss the moments when Madrid competed with Barcelona like during the CR7 vs Messi era, but it seems like we won't see that euphoria again.
Lewandowski is the 3rd highest active goal scoring player after Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. He isn't as popular among people as he got his peak form at his later stage of career. His role in Bayern Munich was particularly impressive which got the attention of Barcelona. Lewandowski came into Barcelona when it was having a hard time but with his effort, Barcelona was never too short of title race in La Liga.
The likes of Mbappe and later Yamal were introduced as the next big youth talent after the world cup but they are yet to prove their consistency.
