#2 Kylian Mbappe (30 goals x2: 60 points)

Kylian Mbappe: A younger talent in possession of the Golden Boot?
Kylian Mbappe: A younger talent in possession of the Golden Boot?

Yes. Far ahead of any other player who is chasing with a huge gap of 16 points with the immediate next player. Kylian Mbappe is a goalscoring machine at just 20 years of age. Only Sergio Aguero and Ronaldo Nazario have reached the 30 goal mark under that age. Even the great Lionel Messi first scored 30 goals aged 22.

In 27 Ligue 1 games this season, Kylian Mbappe has scored 30 goals and also dished 7 assists to go with. Just like Juventus, PSG has been crowned champions in their league too. They have five more league fixtures remaining this season and Kylian also scored a hattrick in his last game. With the league sealed, it remains a doubt whether Kylian will start each and every game as Tuchel would want to experiment with the team.

Kylian's best chance is to score in whatever games Tuchel would actually field him because even that might not be enough to get the Golden Boot in his bag.
