The Ballon d'Or gala awarded the Swede Viktor Gyokeres after his 39 goals in the Portuguese League last season. The current Arsenal striker lifted the Gerd Muller trophy for Europe's top scorer. However, it will be Mbappe who will receive the Golden Boot.

Why does this happen? Because the Golden Boot award is achieved with different regulations, in which the coefficients for the five major leagues come into play.

The coefficients determine Mbappe as top scorer

In Spain, England, Italy, France and Germany each goal is worth double while in the rest, it is only worth 1.5 as it is considered less difficult to score 39 in the Portuguese league for example, than 31 as Mbappe did in the Spanish league.

Therefore, Mbappe's 31 goals, with which he also surpassed Salah, who also came close to the Golden Boot, crowned him as the best and serve to receive the prestigious ESM (European Sport Media, of which MARCA is a member) award, but not the Golden Ball, which is awarded to the absolute top scorer, also adding those scored with the national team: Gyokeres scored 53 goals in total.
