When Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo were in La Liga.
They made Golkara a Dalbhat. Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo scored match after match during their time in La Liga. The names of the two are shining in the list of the most goals scored in the league. Messi’s goals for Barcelona in 520 matches are 474 and Ronaldo’s goals are 311 for Real Madrid in 292 matches.
However, it should also be remembered that in these 12 seasons, Ronaldo has fought with Messi for 8 seasons (until the 2017-18 season. Ronaldo left Real Madrid and joined Juventus in 2018). Whereas Messi won the top scorer 5 times and Ronaldo won 3 times. Messi became the top scorer for three consecutive seasons after the departure of the Portuguese superstar.
In total, Messi became the top scorer 8 times in his La Liga career. At this time, the Argentine star also scored the highest goal in a season. In the 2011–12 season, Messi scored 50 goals alone, the most goals in a season in La Liga so far. Even in those 12 seasons only once did the goal tally dip below 30. Messi became the top scorer with 25 goals in the 2019-20 season. Ronaldo, however, was no longer in Spain.
In the summer of 2021, Messi left Barca for PSG in a dramatic move. As a result, from the 2021-22 season, the journey of La Liga began without both Messi and Ronaldo. Karim Benzema became the top scorer in La Liga in the first season without the two. Benzema scored 27 league goals in the 2021–22 season en route to winning the Ballon d’Or.
The top scorer in the following season was Robert Lewandowski who came to Barcelona from Bayern Munich. 23 goals. The last instance of top goalscorer with fewer goals than Leva was in the 2001–02 season. Diego Tristan was the top scorer with 20 goals for Seber Deportivo La Coruna.
La Liga’s top scorer this season?
The current season (2023–24) is reminiscent of the 2001–02 season. After that season, this season also has the highest 20 goals. Girona’s Artem Dobbi (20) has scored the highest goal so far this season. The Ukrainian striker still has two matches left. Dovbic has a chance to finish higher than the 2001-02 season by scoring in these two games.
If Dovbic finishes top, it will be 14 years since a player from a club other than Real Madrid became the top goalscorer. Outside of these two clubs, Diego Forlán last scored 32 goals for Atlético Madrid in the 2008–09 season. Villarreal’s Alexander Sorloth (19) and Real’s Jude Bellingham (18) are joint second after Dovbic’s 20 goals. Barca’s Lewandowski (17) is third.
Now, if Real-Barca is to become the top scorer of any player, Bellingham and Leva will have to do something great in the next three matches. Also pray that Dobhvik doesn’t score any more goals in his own three matches, or the task will become even more difficult for them.
Harry Kane’s most goals in the league this season?
La Liga has seen a surprising decline in goals scored even among Europe’s top 5 leagues. Among these five leagues, if we consider the top goalscorers, La Liga is at the bottom. Harry Kane tops the list with 36 goals. Kane scored these goals for German Bundesliga club Bayern Munich.
After 27 goals, PSG’s Kylian Mbappe and Manchester City’s Arling Holland are in second place. And Lautaro Martinez, who scored 24 goals for Serie A club Inter Milan, is at the fourth place in the list.
However, the league season is not quite over yet. All leagues have some matches left. La Liga teams also have 3 matches left. It remains to be seen whether Dobvik-Bellingham-Levara can do something great with these matches and surpass any other league.
