Kylian Mbappe received the European Golden Boot after an impressive debut season with Real Madrid, becoming the first French player to win the award since Thierry Henry.
Scoring an astounding 31 goals throughout 34 games in La Liga, Mbappe clinched the prestigious trophy, awarded by European Sports Media, for the first time in his career.
The Golden Boot is granted to Europe's top scorer, with a points system that favors goals from competitive leagues. Mbappe joins the ranks of club legends Cristiano Ronaldo and Hugo Sanchez as the third Real player to earn this honor. In a heartfelt address after receiving the award, Mbappe expresses his desire to stay at Real Madrid for many years, highlighting the strength of the team and his ambitions for future successes.
"We have an amazing team and I hope we'll win several awards this year," Mbappe said. "The collective prize is the most important one. I think that we can win a lot of things with all the people who are here. It's a great delight to play at Real Madrid. Everyone knows it was my childhood dream, now I'm here, for many years I hope."
"I hope I'll be able to win these awards for many years and that I'll bring joy to Real Madrid fans who showed me love since the first day. Even before, Real Madrid gave me their love when I played in Paris and Monaco. That matters a lot to me."
