The Zarra Trophy, also awarded by the Marca newspaper, is awarded annually to the Spanish national with the highest goal total in La Liga. It is named in the memory of the late Athletic Bilbao striker Telmo Zarra (also known as Zarra) who shared the record with Mexican player Hugo Sánchez for most goals scored in a single season with 38 goals until Cristiano Ronaldo set a new record at 40 goals. Lionel Messi currently holds the new record of 50 goals in the 2011–12 season.
- A–1 Liga de Fútbol Profesional, the governing body of Spanish top division, claims that during the 2010–11 La Liga season Cristiano Ronaldo scored a total of 40 goals,[1] while Marca newspaper, which is responsible for the Pichichi trophy, claims that he in fact scored a total of 41 goals.[2] The inconsistency of the data started during a match between Real Sociedad and Real Madrid, played on 18 September 2010, after Ronaldo took a free kick with a powerful shot towards the goal when in mid-air the ball was deflected on Pepe's back, beating the goalkeeper.[1] The view of Liga de Fútbol Profesional is backed by the Royal Spanish Football Federation and UEFA.[3] In addition, the 40 goals mark is also backed by his own club.[4] In 2011, Ronaldo received a European Golden Shoe award for his “40 strikes in La Liga” season and established the award's new point record at 80.[3][4]
