Mbappe was named the "other hero" by scoring multiple goals in a match that drew attention from all over the world with a farewell match between the "Real Legend" Luca Modric and the "Master" coach Carlo Ancelotti.
On the 24th (local time), he scored one goal each in the first and second half of the Spanish Primera Liga's 38th round home game against Real Sociedad at Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid, Spain, leading his team to a 2-0 victory. In the 38th minute of the first half, Mbappe's shot as a penalty kicker was blocked by the opposing goalkeeper, but he pushed the ball back. In the 38th minute of the second half, he received Vinicius Junior's pass in a counterattack and shook the net with a wonderful right-footed shot that cut through the bottom of the corner of his exclusive goal.

At the same time, he is close to winning the European Golden Shoe (European Golden Shoe). With 31 goals, Mbappe's Golden Shoe score increased to 62 (scoring x 2). He beat Victor Jockeres (Sporting, 58.5 points), who has already finished the season. According to the European Golden Shoe calculation method, players in the five major European leagues are given two points per goal and 1.5 points for other leagues. As a result, Jockeres scored just 58.5 points, not 78, even though he scored 39 goals for Portugal.
Mohammed Salah (Liverpool) is the only remaining contender in the EPL Player of the Year. However, in order for Salah, who has scored 28 goals (56 points), to overtake Mbappe, he must score at least three goals in the final Premier League match against Crystal Palace at Anfield on the 26th.
If Mbappe wins the Golden Shoe, it will be the first time in 10 years since Cristiano Ronaldo (Al-Nasr) in 2015. He will also become the first La Liga Golden Shoe winner in six years since Lionel Messi (Inter Miami) in 2019. So far, only two Golden Shoe winners from Real have been awarded to Ugo Sanchez (1990) and Ronaldo (2011, 2014 and 2015). Ronaldo has won a total of four Golden Shoes, including 2008 when he was playing for Manchester United. He is the second in the Golden Shoe rankings after Messi (6 times).
The last French player to win the Golden Shoe was Thierry Henry (then Arsenal) in 2005. Henri won the Golden Shoe for two consecutive seasons in 2004 and 2005.
The winner of the Golden Shoe in the 2023-2024 season was Harry Kane (Bayern Munich).

As a result, Mbappe and his former team Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) broke up 'win-win'. PSG, which left 'Ace' Mbappe, considered irreplaceable, defeated French Ligue 1 and Coupe de France at the same time this season with more overwhelming power. If he wins the European Champions League final against Inter Milan on the 2nd of next month, he will achieve his first treble.
PSG coach Luis Enrique kept his promise to build a better team without Mbappe. He is making history as a 'Team PSG' that does not rely on a single striker. PSG, which scored 84 points with 92 goals in Ligue 1 this season, scored the most goals in a single season in six years since 105 goals in Ligue 1 in the 2018-2019 season when Mbappe was active.
