La Liga Top Scorers 2024/25: Lewandowski Leads the Golden Boot Race

The 94th edition of the Spanish top division is resuming after a short international break. All teams in the La Liga have played their first nine games already. Now, the business is getting serious. So far, apart from a few shockers, all things are proceeding at their expected pace.

The big three of the league – FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Atlético de Madrid are the top three in La Liga 2024-25 table, in the exact order. FC Barcelona have started their season with a bang, winning eight and losing one. Defending champions Real Madrid did succumb with three draws, but have won the other six and are standing at spot two, unbeaten. Atlético de Madrid are also unbeaten, with four wins and five draws.

Athletic Club Bilbao are also going fine, with 14 points in nine games, standing at six. But things are not that good for the other biggies- Girona (at 11), Sevilla (at 12), and Valencia in the relegation zone (18). 

So much drama has happened in the La Liga, with only 90 games played so far. And a majority of these happened for the high number of goals we have witnessed so far. Till now, 224 goals have already been scored, averaging at 2.49 goals per game, most coming from the La Liga giants. While the average looks a little low from last season (1005 goals, averaging 2.64 per game), we might expect a bit more now, with the big games lined up.

On that note, let’s have a look at the La Liga top scorers this season so far:

La Liga Top Scorers 2024/25

1. Robert Lewandowski (10 goals)

The veteran striker is finally cooking well in the FC Barcelona squad, ever since his entry in July 2022. Now playing under his former coach at Bayern Munich, the No. 9 is ticking all the boxes at Barca. 

Though the ace forward has always been among the La Liga top scorers, his impact in the Barca style of play has often been of not much need. But now, under Hansi Flick, his approach seems to have changed. He perfectly fits into the system, and not only does the job of a finisher but also helps other players score.

Lewa has started in all games for FC Barcelona in the Spanish top tier this season, scoring 10 goals already, along with two assists. He has contributed to 43% of the 28 goals the Cules have struck so far.

2. Ayoze Pérez (6 goals)

The 31-year-old Spaniard came to this transfer window for just 4 million Euros from Real Betis. And, he has been a true bargain for Villarreal. Perez appeared in the first seven games, before missing out in the last two, starting in only four games. He got only 51% of the total minutes the club played, and in this minimal time, he managed to be among the top scorers in La Liga 2024/25. 

The striker often comes as a substitute striker and strike-winner. He has been among the most effective forwards in the minimal time he plays. He even has goals against giants FC Barcelona.

3. Giovani Lo Celso, Kylian Mbappé, and Raphinha (5 goals each)

Giovani Lo Celso, an Argentine playmaker Real Betis signed from Tottenham in August is showing his skills and hunger for goals from the very start. He played in six games as of now, scoring five goals. He scored in four consecutive matches to be among the La Liga top scorers.

Real Madrid’s dream signing Kylian Mbappe definitely is predicted to be among the 2024/25 La Liga top scorers. He couldn’t score in the first three, but since then has been lethal.

Raphinha has been one of the top performers this season, he not only is among the La Liga top scorers but has also provided the highest number of assists (five).
