La Liga Top Goal Scorers 2016-2017

Lionel Messi regained the Pichichi Trophy for the first time since 2012-13 by finishing as La Liga’s highest scorer.

The Argentine netted 37 times for Barcelona this season, claiming the award for a fourth time and finishing eight goals ahead of last term’s leading marksman Luis Suarez.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who has fallen behind his great rival in terms of the number of Pichichi titles he has won, came third, having struck 25 times.

All three players scored on the final day of the Liga season, with Messi’s double earning Barcelona a 4-2 win over Eibar. He had missed a penalty before scoring from the spot and then produced a wonderful individual goal to round off the scoring in stoppage time.
