Jude Bellingham Remains in La Liga Top Scorers List Despite Receiving a Red Card

The La Liga 2023-24 Matchweek 27 is over and Real Madrid continues to lead the standings. They are seven points above second-placed Girona despite their controversial 2-2 draw against Valencia at the Mestalla.

Girona faced an upset as they lost 1-0 against Mallorca at Estadi Mallorca Son Moix while Barcelona held Athletic Bilbao to a goalless draw at the San Mames.

In the relegation zone, meanwhile, Almeria (20^th) and Granada (19^th) suffered defeats to Celta Vigo and Villarreal respectively. Cadiz (18^th) drew against Rayo Vallecano but are still five points away from safety.

There were a number of goals scored in Gameweek 27 of La Liga, with some changes to the scoring charts.

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

Jude Bellingham | Real Madrid | 16 Goals

Real Madrid’s summer signing Jude Bellingham continues to top the goalscoring charts despite missing a couple of games due to injury. He thought he had added to his tally in stoppage time of their 2-2 draw against Valencia. However, the goal was controversially ruled out by referee Gil Manzano.

Bellingham has scored 16 goals and provided three assists in 22 La Liga games this season.
