4 players who have scored more goals than Ronaldo in Europe's top five leagues this season

#2 Kylian Mbappe

Mbappe is the current highest goalscorer in the Ligue 1

Undoubtedly the standout star of the next generation, Kylian Mbappe is a Ballon d’Or winner in waiting and is widely tipped to inherit the crown of best player in the world once Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo depart the scene.

Scratch that, the Frenchman is already playing at a world-class level, and already boasts some enviable achievements that only a few throughout history can match, yet, he has only just turned 20.

The World Cup winner is the second costliest player of all time but plays with such ease and composure that belies his age.

Having made it into the FIFPRO XI and set a plethora of records last year following his spectacular displays at the World Cup, Mbappe seems intent on taking his stock a bit higher and is very firmly in the running to be the European Golden Shoe winner of 2019.

With 17 goals, he leads the goal scorers' chart in the French Ligue 1 and if he maintains this level of consistency, then he could well become only the second player after Luis Suarez to win the award ahead of Messi and Ronaldo in the last decade.
