The 2019-20 Ligue 1 season had been ended abruptly due to the Coronavirus pandemic. The French league is the first of the top five European leagues to end the season. The others among the top five European leagues – Bundesliga, LaLiga, Premier League and Serie A is heading towards resuming the season.
PSG have been crowned as the Ligue 1 champions. The league winner was decided on a points-per-game basis.
PSG’s Mbappe and Monaco’s Wissam Ben Yedder both had 18 goals in the league before the season was halted due to the COVID-19 outbreak. But Mbappe alone has been awarded the Ligue 1 top goalscorer award.
The Ligue 1 officials explained Mbappe was given the award because he reached his total by scoring more of his goals in open play.
Mbappe wants to share his award and give credit to Ben Yedder as well. He tweeted: “Thank you all for your messages. I do think that Wissam also deserves a trophy, as they did in the Premier League last season, to reward his year.”
In the 2018-19 season, Liverpool duo Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane shared the Golden Boot with Arsenal striker Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang after the trio all finished on 22 goals.
Mbappe has shown a great sportsmanship spirit by offering to share his award with Ben Yedder.
