Kylian Mbappé has reason to be concerned about his goal tally in LaLiga this season.

On Sunday, Real Mallorca outclassed Rayo Vallecano (3-0) on Matchday 31 of LaLiga. Once again, Muriqi proved decisive, netting a brace (35th, 40th minutes). The Mallorcans quickly took control and sealed their victory in the second half thanks to Virgili (66th).

The Kosovar striker has now closed the gap to just two goals behind Kylian Mbappé in the top scorers' race (21 to 23), establishing himself as the main contender for the Pichichi, well ahead of Ante Budimir (16).
