La Liga's all-time top goalscorer is Barcelona's Lionel Messi, who also holds the record for most goals scored in a season with 50 goals in the 2011–12 season.[1][2] Messi is also the only player ever to win the top scorer's award in 7 seasons.[3] Athletic Bilbao's Telmo Zarra, who was the competition's all-time top scorer until 2014, won the top scorer's award in six seasons.[4] Four other players, Real Madrid's Alfredo Di Stéfano, Quini of Sporting Gijón and Barcelona, and Hugo Sánchez of Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid — each finished as top scorer in five seasons.

Lionel Messi, still active, is the all-time top scorer in La Liga history with 444 goals.
