France Football magazine, the same one that organizes the Ballon d'Or, created the award for the best goalscorer in 2021, which the following year was called the 'Gerd Muller Trophy' and the goals scored during a season began to be counted.
Since its creation in 2021, in these three years there have been two winners, with Robert Leëandoëski, the only one who has repeated the award for two consecutive years (2021 and 2022).
Last season, Erling Haaland was the winner thanks to his excellent role with Manchester City.
Why doesn't Cristiano win the Muller award this year?
In the 2023/24 season, Cristiano Ronaldo was the top scorer with 57 goals in 63 games, 44 with Al Nassr and 13 with the Portuguese national team.
The fact that the Portuguese will not be awarded is because the rules of this award specify that this trophy is awarded to the best scorer at European level and the Portuguese currently plays in Saudi Arabia.
For this reason, Ronaldo will not receive this 'Gerd Muller Trophy', an award that will be shared by Kylian Mbappe and Harry Kane due to their 52 goals scored last season 2023/24.
