The race for the La Liga top scorer award is intensifying. Kylian Mbappé's recent form, exemplified by his hat-trick against Las Palmas, has significantly narrowed the gap between himself and Robert Lewandowski.

Real Madrid's hat-trick hero Kylian Mbappe showed off some of the messages his team-mates wrote onto his match ball after thumping Real Valladolid.

Second-placed Atletico Madrid drew 1-1 at home earlier against Villarreal, while Barcelona, third, trailed Los Blancos by 10 points before hosting Valencia on Sunday. Mbappe has hit his devastating best in recent weeks, after struggling for consistency following his summer switch from Paris Saint-Germain.

Hugo Duro pulled a goal back for Valencia in the 58th minute, but there was no respite with Robert Lewandowski (a substitute on Sunday) scored Barca's sixth from a narrow angle and Cesar Tarrega deflected a cross into his own net to make it 7-1 with 15 minutes still to play to confirm Valencia's worst defeat since the 1931/32 season.
