The race for the La Liga Golden Boot in the 2026/27 season has started at a fast pace, with Barcelona duo Raphinha and Lamine Yamal challenging Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé in what is shaping up to be a highly competitive scoring battle.
Raphinha currently leads the scoring charts with nine goals after scoring a hat-trick in Barcelona’s 7-2 victory over Racing Santander on September 16. Yamal has seven goals, level with Mbappé, who reached the same tally after scoring twice against Rayo Vallecano.
Alongside Raphinha, Yamal has played an important role in Barcelona’s attack, with his seven goals putting him level with Mbappé on the top-scorers list. La Liga statistics show Raphinha leading the standings, followed by Mbappé and Yamal, while Rayo Vallecano’s Sergio Camello has six goals.
The competition has started early this season, with Mbappé among the players looking to continue his pursuit of the Golden Boot after finishing as La Liga’s top scorer in each of his first two seasons with Real Madrid. Barcelona, meanwhile, have seen Raphinha and Yamal make a fast start and intensify the scoring race.
