Kosovo striker Vedat Muriqi has exploded into La Liga action this season, scoring 21 goals for Mallorca. Only Kylian Mbappe has more goals - 24 in total.
Muriqi last scored in the match against Rayo Vallecano, on April 12.
There were no more goals from Mallorca's "Pirate". And this has not gone without comment in Spain.
In the article of the famous Spanish media outlet "Marca", it is written that it is happening to Muriqi for the first time this year that he does not score a goal in three consecutive matches.
"He has only experienced this poor run once since the start of the season. We have to go back to October 4, 2025, to find the last time he failed to score a goal in the third consecutive match. He did not score in the defeat against Athletic Bilbao at San Mames, while he did not score against Real Sociedad in San Sebastian and against Alaves at home," the Spanish media writes.

Muriqi nominated for best player in La Liga
The Kosovo striker has become Mallorca's all-time top scorer in La Liga.
Muriqi has reached the figure of 55 goals, surpassing Samuel Eto'o's 54 goals.
"The striker has not scored since that historic victory against Rayo Vallecano. Not only has he been less dangerous in front of goal in the matches against Valencia, Alaves and Girona, but his overall performance has declined over the past month. He is winning fewer aerial duels than usual, his ball control is not up to par and he seems to lack energy. He is going through a completely understandable decline in form," writes "Marca".
There are four more rounds in La Liga until the end of the season.

When a good scorer is not enough – 'the other Muriqi cases'
Mallorca plays at home against Villarreal this weekend. Then they play away against Getafe. They play their penultimate match away again against Levante, and they close the season at home with a match against Oviedo.
"Muriqi still has a few games to get back on track, to try to catch up with Mbappe, who already has 24 goals and could be picking himself up in the coming games, with the World Cup in mind. His first chance is against Villarreal. If he fails to do so, it will mark the longest streak of goallessness of the 2025/26 edition."
