Mbappe Beats Haaland, Lewandowski To Finish As 2022 Best Striker In Europe
Kylian Mbappe finished 2022 as the top scorer across Europe’s top five leagues (Premier League, La Liga, Ligue 1, Serie A, Bundesliga).
The France and Paris Saint-Germain forward beat off competition from prolific Man City striker Erling-Braut Haaland and Barcelona hitman Robert Lewandowski.
Mbappe notched a staggering 56 goals for club and country across the calendar year in 56 games, averaging a goal per game in the year under review.
His closest competitor was Man City's dreaded goal-scoring machine Haaland, who bagged 46 goals in 46 games while Lewandowski finished on the podium with 42 strikes, per GFFN.
Below is the ranking of Europe's most prolific forward:
Mbappe could have a stiffer competition in 2023 considering the goal scoring rate of Haaland, who became the fastest player to reach 20 goals in the Premier League, ESPNFC notes.
