We begin our Spanish League countdown today by taking a look at the all-time La Liga goal scoring chart. Athletic Bilbao legend Telmo Zarra has led the way for quite some time now as he has occupied the number 1 spot since 1955. However, it’s very likely that Barcelona attacker Lionel Messi will replace him in the coming season. Messi is 8 goals behind the all time record.

Other names include Real Madrid strikers Raul Gonzalez and the late great Alfredo di Stefano. Valencia legend Edmundo Suárez features 8th on the list. If you are wondering where does Cristiano Ronaldo rank then the answer is 15th. The Portuguese arrived late in La Liga and has made fewer appearances compared to others. He does however boast an untouchable ratio of 1.07 goals per game.
