  • The race to be crowned Ligue 1 top goalscorer promises to be an intriguing one
  • The Ligue 1 campaign will begin on August 5 and go all the way through June 4
  • The season will take a break in November and December for the World Cup

Ligue 1 is home to some of the best footballers in the world, especially in the attacking positions. Paris Saint-Germain alone have three of the foremost forwards in the modern game, but there is talent to be found elsewhere in the division too.

The 2022/23 campaign gets under way on August 5 and will not conclude until June 4. That is due to mid-season break in November and December to make space for the World Cup in Qatar.

That pause is unlikely to have much of an impact on the Ligue 1 title race, but it could be a factor in determining which players finish as the Ligue 1 top scorers 2022/23.

Ligue 1 Top Scorers Kylian Mbappe

Kylian Mbappe is the favorite to finish at the top of the Ligue 1 top scorers chart. The Paris Saint-Germain talisman looked set to join La Liga side Real Madrid this summer, but he performed a last-minute U-turn and signed a new deal with PSG instead. That is bad news not only for Madrid, but also for Ligue 1 defenses.

Mbappe is not the only world-class forward at the Parc des Princes. Lionel Messi’s first season with the club was underwhelming but he should improve this time around. And Neymar has something to prove after reports that PSG were open to selling him in the summer.

Wissam Ben Yedder of Monaco has an excellent track record of putting the ball in the back of the net, so do not write him off in this particular race. Lyon’s Moussa Dembele is another one to watch, while the talented Arek Milik could be an outsider after averaging close to a goal every other game during his loan spell at Marseille last time out.
