Real Madrid forward Cristiano
Ronaldo has etched his name into
Spanish football history after
becoming the first player to
score more than 38 goals in a
single league season en route to
the Pichichi trophy.
In his 34th league game of the
2010-11 campaign, the
Portuguese sensation found the
target for the 39th time on the
final day against Almeria at the
Santiago Bernabeu.
It took just four minutes for him
to bag the historic goal when he
stabbed the ball home from close
range at the back post after
Sergio Ramos had headed a Xabi
Alonso free kick across goal.
He now officially surpasses
previous record holders Telmo
Zarra and Hugo Sanchez, who
both amassed 38 goals in 30 and
35 league games respectively.
However, Marca, who awards
the Pichichi trophy, has credited
Ronaldo with 40 goals for his
free kick effort against Real
Socieded in September which
Spain ’s National Professional
Football League (LFP) gave to
team-mate Pepe.
Ronaldo's strike against Almeria
was also his 51st in all
competitions and he now has the
chance to equal or overtake
Barcelona forward Lionel Messi's
tally of 52 competitive goals this
season, a record for a player in
Spanish football.
Here are the seven highest
goalscorers in a single season in
