La Liga top goal scorers 2024/25: Golden Boot standings in Spain - Mbappe on the hunt for Pichichi

The La Liga season for 2024/25 kicks off on August 15, 2024, and will conclude at the end of May 2025.

Alongside the quest to dethrone Real Madrid as champions, and the battle for European places — not to mention survival in the division — some individuals will be targeting glory via the Golden Boot award.

This prize, also known as the Pichichi in Spain, is awarded to the player who scores the most goals in the league season. In 2024/25, Girona striker Artem Dovbyk emerged triumphant ahead of Madrid star Jude Bellingham, Barcelona forward Robert Lewandowski, and Villarreal's Alexander Sorloth.

However, a new name will be battling for the Golden Boot this season. Madrid completed the signing of Kylian Mbappe in July after the France star left Paris Saint-Germain at the end of his contract, and the 2018 World Cup winners will undoubtedly be among the favourites to end this campaign with the most goals scored.

The Sporting News will be tracking the Golden Boot race in La Liga right until the final matchday.
