Greenwood Tops Ligue 1 Scoring Ahead of Mbappé's Exit
Mason Greenwood has emerged as a top scorer in Ligue 1 for Olympique de Marseille, overshadowing other prominent players following Kylian Mbappé's departure.
Mason Greenwood is making waves in Ligue 1 after a sensational season with Olympique de Marseille. The former Manchester United forward has stepped up as a dominant force in French football, topping the league's scoring charts with 12 goals in 20 appearances. His rapid rise is turning heads as he surpasses players like Bradley Barcola, Jonathan David, and Ousmane Dembélé in the scoring rankings.
Greenwood joined Marseille from Getafe during the summer transfer window for €26 million, following an impressive stint in La Liga where he recorded 10 goals and six assists in 36 matches. The move marked a new chapter for the English forward, and he has already exceeded expectations in Ligue 1. Under the guidance of Marseille head coach Roberto De Zerbi, Greenwood was tasked with reaching a 15-goal target for the season—a milestone he is on track to surpass.
Currently leading the Ligue 1 scoring race, Greenwood’s 12 goals place him just ahead of Bradley Barcola of Paris Saint-Germain and Jonathan David of Lille, who both have 11 goals. PSG’s Ousmane Dembélé follows closely with 10 goals, making the competition for the Golden Boot one of the most exciting narratives this season.
Since the departure of Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid, Ligue 1 has seen a shift in its attacking dynamics. Mbappé had been the league’s undisputed top scorer for several seasons, and Greenwood's emergence signals a new era in French football. With his consistent performances, Greenwood has positioned himself as a strong contender for the top scorer title, a feat that would further cement his status as one of the league’s elite players.
Marseille’s fans and management are thrilled with Greenwood’s contributions, as his goals have been pivotal in maintaining the team’s position in the top tier of Ligue 1. Beyond the numbers, Greenwood’s energy, movement, and finishing ability have added a new dimension to Marseille’s attack. As the season progresses, his performances will undoubtedly be crucial in the club's quest for silverware and Champions League qualification.
With his name now synonymous with Ligue 1’s best, Greenwood’s journey is one of redemption and ambition, making him a player to watch not only in France but across Europe.
