Most La Liga goals 2024-25: Early Pichichi favourites, predictions and current standings
We’re only a few months into the 2024-25 La Liga season, but there appears to be a runaway favourite for the Pichichi Trophy.
For those unaware, the Pichichi Trophy is La Liga’s Golden Boot, awarded to the player with the most goals in the league every season. Last season Artem Dovbyk won the award, scoring 24 times as Girona secured a top four finish.

No player has retained the Pichichi Trophy since Lionel Messi won the award five seasons in a row between 2016-17 and 2020-21. And there will be no successful defence this season, with Dovbyk leaving Girona to join Roma in Serie A.
There is only one former Pichichi Trophy winner still active in La Liga, with Robert Lewandowski taking the award in 2022-23, scoring 23 goals to help Barcelona win the title. So, with Lewandowski win the award for a second time or will there be a new name on the trophy?
Come back here throughout the season to see how the race is going.
La Liga 2024-25 Pichichi predictions
There’s really no looking past Kylian Mbappe right now. The Frenchman is a Real Madrid player at long last and arrived in Spain with six consecutive Ligue 1 Golden Boots under his belt. And let’s not forget about his 2022 World Cup and 2023/24 Champions League Golden Boots. It’s hard to see a universe where Mbappe isn’t at least at the forefront of the Pichichi race, and he has six goals so far.
New teammate Jude Bellingham will also look to build on his 19-goal showing from last season, though his role is expected to be different. His season has really only just started, playing just seven games due to injury, and Bellingham is yet to find the net but does have one assist. Alexander Sorloth has swapped Villarreal for Atletico Madrid to replace Alvaro Morata, scoring three times so far.
While Robert Lewandowski is around, no Golden Boot race is safe and even in an off-year, the Polish legend still scored 19 goals for Barcelona. He’s made a ridiculous start to the season too, leading the race with 14 goals in 12 games — including netting a brace in a 4-0 away win for Barcelona in El Clasico.
