Which trophy is awarded to La Liga's best goalkeeper each season?

The Zamora Trophy is awarded to La Liga’s best goalkeeper each season.

Named after legendary Spanish goalkeeper Ricardo Zamora, the award traditionally recognizes the goalkeeper with the lowest goals-conceded average in the league. It is associated with Marca, the Spanish sports newspaper, rather than being a trophy for goalkeeping excellence in every competition.

The award has a long history dating back to La Liga’s early years. Ricardo Zamora himself won it three times, and later winners have included Antoni Ramallets, Víctor Valdés, Iker Casillas, Jan Oblak and Thibaut Courtois. Eligibility and tie-breaking rules have varied, especially in seasons when two goalkeepers recorded identical averages.

The other options refer to different honors: the Pichichi Trophy recognizes the league’s leading scorer, the Zarra Trophy honors the top Spanish scorer, and the Di Stéfano Trophy was associated with the best overall La Liga player. The Zamora name is therefore specifically linked to goalkeeping.
