The Spanish League is not only one of the longest-running leagues on the European continent, but also one of the best. Therefore, being one of the players with the most goals scored in the competition is worthy of recognition.
Here at JefeBet we know this very well and that’s why we bring you a list reminding you who are the players with the most goals scored in the history of La Liga.
Players with the Most Goals in the History of La Liga in Spain
Raúl González – 228 goals
“The Eternal Captain” is not only a historic scorer of the Spanish League, but also of his country’s national team. Raúl González Blanco played 550 games for Real Madrid in the competition and thanks to his finesse in defending against rival goalkeepers, he finished with an average of 0.5 goals scored per game played.
Hugo Sánchez – 234 goals
Although his best period in the Spanish League was with Real Madrid, Mexican Hugo Sánchez played 12 seasons in the league to establish himself as one of the players with the most goals scored in the history of the league. With Atlético de Madrid he scored 54 of them, with the “merengues” a total of 164 and finished with 16 in his only, and last, campaign with Rayo Vallecano.
Telmo Zarra – 251 goals
The historic Athletic Bilbao striker led the list of top scorers in the Spanish League until the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, for almost six decades. That speaks to the extraordinary Telmo Zarra, who in 15 seasons and 277 games played averaged 0.91 goals per game.
Cristiano Ronaldo – 311 goals
The Portuguese goal-scoring machine is considered by many to be the best in history and his nine seasons with La Liga and Real Madrid prove that he is at least one of the greatest of all time. In the 292 games he played in La Liga, he helped the Spanish capital club win two leagues thanks to an average of 1.07 goals per game.
Lionel Messi – 474 goals
FC Barcelona’s historic Argentinean is at the top of the list of players with the most goals in the Spanish League, with a record that looks almost impossible to overcome in the near future. Lionel Messi played for 17 campaign with the “blaugranas”, with whom he played 520 games in the competition and scored almost half a thousand goals. His best campaign was 2011/12, when he scored 50 goals and finished with an average of 0.91 per game.
