Leo Messi wins his seventh Pichichi, a LaLiga record

The Argentine becomes the first player to win the award seven times, beating Zarra's six

Leo Messi continues to break records. After his double at Alavés this Sunday, the Argentine has won his seventh Pichichi Trophy and his fourth in a row. His 25 goals in 33 league games meant that Real Madrid's Karim Benzema finished in second place in the standings.

 

Pichichi Trophy leader

This Pichichi Trophy is historic, as Messi has surpassed Telmo Zarra, with whom he was level before this campaign. It's his fourth consecutive top scorer award, equalling the feat of Mexican striker, Hugo Sanchez. In his case, he first did so with Atlético Madrid (1984/85) and the following three seasons with Real Madrid (1985/86, 1986/87 and 1987/88).

Nineteen of Leo Messi's 25 goals have come at the Camp Nou with six away from home. Of those, five were direct free-kicks, demonstrating his excellence from the dead ball.
