It has been a two-horse race for some time, and while Kylian Mbappé remains sidelined, Vedat Muriqi has kept finding the back of the net. In the latest matchday, the Bosnian striker scored deep into stoppage time against Villarreal to level the game before the break, putting him just two goals behind the Frenchman, who missed the Clásico at the Cam Nou.
With three rounds left in the season, Mallorca—Muriqi’s side—will travel to Getafe and Levante, and host Real Oviedo, in a thrilling end to the campaign near the bottom of the table.
The Pichichi race is also heating up. If Mbappé returns to the pitch as expected, he will have chances to extend his lead against Real Oviedo, Sevilla, and Athletic Club, likely the only bright spot in an otherwise disappointing season for his team.
Behind the top two scorers, Budimir sits on 17 goals, while Ferran and Lamine have 16 each, and Oyarzabal and Vinicius both have 15. At this point, the two Barcelona players would share the Zarra Trophy.
Meanwhile, Joan García has pulled ahead of Courtois in the race for the Zamora Trophy, boasting a better goals-against average.
In the Segunda División, the scoring race is nearly identical at the top. Leading the pack is Arribas with 24 goals, while Andrés Martín follows closely with 21.
Additionally, Andorra’s 5-1 thrashing of Las Palmas and the 0-0 draw between Burgos and Almería have put Cantero in a strong position for the Zamora award in the second tier, ahead of Magunagoitia (Eibar) and Horkas.
