Who was La Liga's top scorer in 2014-15 with 48 goals?

Cristiano Ronaldo was La Liga’s top scorer in 2014–15, scoring 48 goals for Real Madrid.

Ronaldo’s total came in a season when Real Madrid finished second behind Barcelona, despite producing one of the league’s most prolific individual scoring campaigns. His 48 goals were enough to win the Pichichi award, the scoring prize presented by the Spanish sports newspaper Marca.

Lionel Messi finished second with 43 goals, while Atlético Madrid’s Antoine Griezmann and Barcelona’s Neymar were far behind on 22 goals each. Ronaldo’s league total included several spectacular performances, including a five-goal match against Granada and four goals against Elche.

The figure applies to La Liga matches only, not every competition Real Madrid played that season. That distinction matters because players’ all-competition totals are often quoted separately. Barcelona won the league with 94 points, but Ronaldo still led the division’s scoring table by a clear margin.
