Behind them is last year’s Pichichi winner, Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema (9 goals), with a group of four players on eight goals. It’s worth highlighting Real Sociedad’s Alexander Sorloth (8 goals) who is on a La Liga streak of five straight matches with a goal ahead of a showdown against Real Madrid.
Among the other players in the Top 20 are Atletico Madrid stars Alvaro Morata and Antoine Griezmann, Barcelona duo Ousmane Dembele and Pedri, and Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr. and Federico Valverde.

La Liga odds to win Golden Boot
Who do the sportsbooks think is the frontrunner for the top scorer title in Spain? It’s understandable that Benzema ahead of the pack after his stellar season, but he has company atop the list.
Most sportsbooks have new Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski as the joint-favorite alongside Benzema. The German scored at least 30 league goals in five of the last seven Bundesliga seasons at Bayern Munich.
The biggest snub by the betting market might be last year’s second-place finisher Iago Aspas. The Celta Vigo talisman is 34 years old but has been a model of consistency, finishing with a double-digit goal tally in seven consecutive league seasons.

All-time La Liga Golden Boot (Pichichi)
Below are the top scorers in each season of La Liga since 1995, when the league adopted the modern calculation of three points for a victory.
La Liga Pichichi Trophy 2021/22
While Karim Benzema may have competition for the top of the table this coming season, nobody can take away his incredible 2021/22 campaign.
The season to remember likely pushed the Frenchman towards his first-ever Ballon d’Or, finishing with nine more goals than anyone else and also collecting one fewer assist than the league leader. Ironically, the season’s assist leader Vinicius Jr. led the way largely thanks to Benzema, who was on the receiving end of eight of Vinicius’s 13 assists.
