#3 Most Pichichi trophies – Six
Both Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo and Barcelona’s Lionel Messi have won the famed Pichichi trophy three times each but the honour for the most number goes to Telmo Zarra – the former La Liga scoring record-holder – who’s won it six times in total.
The Argentine is leading the race in the current campaign – as of late February 2017 – with 19 goals in the La Liga. Cristiano Ronaldo, meanwhile, has 15 in the league. Unless Luis Suarez, who’s on 18, spoils the party, one of these two strikers are likely to win the Pichichi trophy once again meaning they’ll get closer to that six-time record.
There have been three other La Liga stars who have won the famed trophy five times each: Alfredo Di Stefano, Quini and Hugo Sanchez. Messi and Ronaldo could definitely catch up to this record within the next two-three years. And then possibly one of them could go on to break the record.
