Rayo Vallecano Halts Real Madrid’s Winning Streak as Mbappé’s Goal-Scoring Run Ends

Rayo Vallecano ended Real Madrid’s winning streak with a well-earned draw at Vallecas — and in doing so, brought an end to Kylian Mbappé’s remarkable eight-match scoring run. Despite the setback, the French superstar remains comfortably at the top of the LaLiga Pichichi race with 13 goals.

Meanwhile, Robert Lewandowski reminded fans of his world-class quality with a hat trick in Barcelona’s commanding victory at Balaídos, keeping the Catalans within touching distance of the league leaders.

As Mbappé heads off to join France during the international break, he maintains a six-goal lead over Julián Álvarez, who failed to score in Atlético de Madrid’s win against Levante at the Metropolitano. Lewandowski’s return to the starting XI proved crucial for Barcelona, underlining his influence in the team’s recent resurgence.

Following closely in the Pichichi standings are Karl Etta Eyong of Levante and Vedat Muriqi of Mallorca, both on six goals. While Eyong went scoreless this weekend, Muriqi climbed to fourth place with a decisive goal in Mallorca’s victory over Getafe.

Another standout performance came from Antoine Griezmann, whose second-half cameo helped seal Atlético’s win and maintain their position among the top four.

Spanish Scoring Race Tightens

In the battle for the top Spanish scorer in LaLiga, Ferran Torres, Borja Iglesias, and Mikel Oyarzabal are all tied on five goals, setting up a competitive chase as the season progresses.

Courtois Leads Zamora Trophy Standings

At the other end of the pitch, Thibaut Courtois strengthened his claim for the Zamora Trophy, keeping another clean sheet in Madrid’s 0–0 draw at Vallecas. The Belgian now leads the goalkeeping rankings with a 0.83 coefficient (10 goals conceded in 12 matches), ahead of Jan Oblak and Fernando Sivera, both of whom have conceded 11 goals.

Liga Hypermotion: Race Heats Up

In the Liga Hypermotion, four players share the top scorer spot with seven goals each — Agus Medina (Albacete), Jeremy and Villalibre (both Racing), and Zaka (Deportivo).

For the Zamora Trophy in the second tier, Las Palmas goalkeeper Horkas leads with a 0.62 coefficient (8 goals conceded in 13 matches), just ahead of Cádiz’s Aznar, who has conceded nine in the same number of games.
