Ligue 1 is often debated as one of the top football leagues globally. Despite being labeled a "farmers league" by some, it has produced world-class talents like Kylian Mbappe, who now stars for Real Madrid. Since Mbappe's departure, the race for the league's top scorer has become much more competitive, drawing greater attention than in past seasons.
Currently, former Manchester United player Mason Greenwood leads the Ligue 1 top scorers chart with 11 goals and 3 assists. Now playing for Marseille, Greenwood recently scored in their 2-1 away victory over Rennes. His impressive performances have sparked regret among Manchester United fans for how he was previously treated. After 17 games this season, Greenwood holds the top spot, edging out Lille's Jonathan David-who also has 11 goals-due to his higher assist count. As the season unfolds, expectations for Greenwood continue to rise, with many drawing comparisons between him and Mbappe.
Paris Saint-Germain's Ousmane Dembélé, formerly of Barcelona, trails closely with 10 goals. Seen as a potential replacement for Mbappe at PSG, Dembélé has been in excellent form, recently scoring twice in a win over Saint-Étienne. His growing influence in the league makes him a strong contender for the top scorer title.
Jonathan David, a consistent presence on the scoring charts during Mbappe's dominance, now faces a fresh challenge from Greenwood. It remains to be seen how far he can push in this season's competitive race.
