Second in the chart is Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored 311 goals in his 292 appearances for Real Madrid. Ronaldo is the only player in the top ten to have scored more goals than appearances made; a remarkable achievement.

La Liga Top Scorers: The Favourites 2025/26

While the above legends of the game are no longer playing in La Liga, many superstars currently play in Spain’s top division. Here are the contenders for the top scorer gong in the 2025/26 season:

Kylian Mbappé (Real Madrid)

Real Madrid’s French superstar finished top of the charts with 31 goals in 34 matches in the 2024/25 season. Given his skill, appetite, and prowess in front of goal, he’s likely to be La Liga’s top scorer in the 2025/26 season, too.

Robert Lewandowski (Barcelona)

Barcelona’s experienced Polish frontman scored over 40 goals in all competitions last time around and finished second to Mbappé in the Golden Boot race last season. He will almost certainly be among the La Liga goals throughout the 2025/26 campaign.

Alexander Sørloth (Atlético Madrid)

Norway international Alexander Sørloth enjoyed a brilliant first season in the Spanish capital with Atlético, bagging 20 goals in 35 matches. If Atlético are in for another productive season, Sørloth will be the danger man up top.

Raphinha (Barcelona)

Raphinha was excellent for Barcelona last season, scoring 18 league goals for the Champions and 13 in the UEFA Champions League, ending the season as the competition’s joint-top scorer. Though often overshadowed by Lamine Yamal, Raphinha is one of Barca’s best players and is a good bet for the top scorer award in 2025/26.

Ayoze Pérez (Villarreal)

Ageing like a fine wine, Ayoze Pérez has enjoyed three excellent seasons in Spain since leaving Leicester City, earning international honours in the process. He was superb for Villarreal last season, scoring 19 goals in 30 games. He could be a good outside bet in this market in the 2025/26 season.

La Liga Top Scorer Betting: Tips and Strategies

What is the best way to bet on La Liga's top scorer? You must bear a few things in mind before proceeding with your bet:

Do Your Research: Summer international tournaments like the Euros and the World Cup can take their toll on the players. Will this affect your decision? Recovery from injuries, early-season form, harmony within squads, and historical scoring records should all be considered.

Bet Before a Ball is Kicked: The best odds you'll get on La Liga's top scorer tend to be at the start of the season because if Mbappé, for example, were to lead his rivals, his odds would be shorter than they were during pre-season. However, you might back someone to have an improved second half of the season and get favourable odds.

Gamble Responsibly: Effective betting strategies involve strict budget management. Visit our Safer Gambling Portal to ensure your betting remains responsible, meaning you won't exceed your means and incur fewer losses.
