Ligue 1: Mbappe believes Ben Yedder also deserves Golden Boot

Mbappe bagged 18 goals alongside Ben Yedder.

However, the Ligue 1 authorities gave the Golden Boot to Mbappe.

The youngster claimed the prize outright having scored all of his efforts from open play.

Meanwhile, Ben Yedder's three strikes came in the form of penalties.

But Mbappe took to social media and said Ben Yedder also deserves the award.

"Thank you for all your messages. I think that Wissam also deserves a trophy, like the Premier League did last season, to reward his year," Mbappe said in a tweet, which ended with the hashtag 'A trophy for Wissam'.

Wissam Ben Yedder thanked Mbappe and said: "Thank you bro, congratulations to you... We can alternate if you want."

Mbappe referred the Premier League as an example on why the top goal-scorer award should be shared.

The Premier League 2018-19 season saw three players score 22 goals apiece.

Notably, all three of them shared the Golden Boot.

The award was shared between Arsenal's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Liverpool duo Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah.
