Written by As of February 26, 2025, the LaLiga 2024/2025 season is in full swing, with teams and players delivering exceptional performances. Several longstanding records are on the brink of being surpassed, promising an exciting climax to the season. This article delves into the historical records that could be broken, the key players involved, and the implications for the league’s legacy.
All-Time Top Goal Scorer in a Single Season
The current record for the most goals scored in a single LaLiga season is held by Lionel Messi, who netted 50 goals during the 2011/2012 campaign. This season, Robert Lewandowski of FC Barcelona and Kylian Mbappé of Real Madrid are in a fierce competition for the Pichichi Trophy, awarded to the league’s top scorer. Lewandowski leads with 20 goals, closely followed by Mbappé with 17 goals. While they are currently behind Messi’s record pace, a surge in form could see either player challenge this monumental milestone.
Most Consecutive Matches Scored In
Lionel Messi also holds the record for scoring in consecutive LaLiga matches, having found the net in 21 straight games during the 2012/2013 season. Athletic Bilbao’s Oihan Sancet is making headlines this season, having scored in four consecutive matches, a feat not achieved by an Athletic player in the past decade. While there’s still a long way to go to match Messi’s record, Sancet’s current form suggests he could extend his scoring streak further.
Youngest Player to Reach 100 LaLiga Goals
Raúl González holds the distinction of being the youngest player to reach 100 LaLiga goals, achieving this at 22 years and 163 days. Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham, though primarily a midfielder, has showcased remarkable goal-scoring prowess, netting 17 goals in his first 20 games this season. If he maintains this trajectory, Bellingham could challenge Raúl’s record, underscoring his versatility and importance to Real Madrid’s attacking dynamics.
Most Points in a Single Season
The record for the most points in a LaLiga season stands at 100, achieved by both Real Madrid (2011/2012) and FC Barcelona (2012/2013). As of February 24, 2025, both FC Barcelona and Real Madrid are tied at the top of the table with 54 points each after 25 matches. To break the 100-point barrier, either team would need to secure maximum points in their remaining fixtures, a challenging yet attainable goal given their current form.
Fewest Goals Conceded in a Season
The record for the fewest goals conceded in a LaLiga season is 18, set by Atlético Madrid in the 2015/2016 campaign. This season, FC Barcelona boasts a formidable defense, having conceded only 25 goals in 25 matches, averaging one goal per game. To break Atlético’s record, Barcelona would need to tighten their defense further in the remaining fixtures, aiming for multiple clean sheets.
Most Clean Sheets in a Season
The record for the most clean sheets in a single LaLiga season is 26, held by Deportivo La Coruña’s Francisco Liaño during the 1993/1994 season. Goalkeepers like Marc-André ter Stegen (FC Barcelona) and Thibaut Courtois (Real Madrid) are renowned for their shot-stopping abilities. While current clean sheet statistics for this season are not specified, both keepers would need an exceptional run of form to challenge this longstanding record.
Highest Goal Difference in a Season
Real Madrid holds the record for the highest goal difference in a LaLiga season, with a +89 differential in the 2011/2012 campaign. As of now, FC Barcelona has a goal difference of +42, while Real Madrid stands at +31. To surpass the +89 mark, either team would need to significantly outscore their opponents in the remaining matches, a daunting yet possible task given their offensive firepower.
Most Goals by a Team in a Single Season
The record for the most goals scored by a team in a single LaLiga season is 121, achieved by Real Madrid in the 2011/2012 season. Currently, FC Barcelona leads the league with 67 goals in 25 matches, averaging 2.7 goals per game. To break this record, Barcelona would need to maintain or exceed this scoring rate in their remaining fixtures, highlighting the importance of their attacking lineup’s consistency.
Conclusion
The 2024/2025 LaLiga season is shaping up to be one for the history books, with several records on the verge of being broken. The performances of standout players like Robert Lewandowski, Kylian Mbappé, Oihan Sancet, and Jude Bellingham, along with the fierce competition between top teams, suggest that fans are in for an exhilarating conclusion to the season.
