Gyokeres Leads European Golden Boot Race Ahead of Mbappe [Top 10 List Inside]
Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres has surged to the top of the European Golden Boot 2025 standings after a stellar season in Portugal’s Primeira Liga.
The Swedish forward has 39 goals, earning 58.5 points and narrowly edging past Kylian Mbappe, who sits second with 29 goals and 58 points.
⚖️ How the Golden Boot Point System Works
The rankings are based not just on the number of goals, but also on a league coefficient system:
- Goals in top five leagues (e.g., La Liga, Premier League, Bundesliga) are multiplied by 2.0
- Goals in other leagues, like Portugal’s Primeira Liga, are multiplied by 1.5
This system keeps Mbappe competitive despite scoring fewer goals, thanks to La Liga’s higher coefficient.
