Pichichi Trophy

Award From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Spanish football, the Pichichi Trophy (Spanish: Trofeo Pichichi) is awarded by the sport newspaper Marca to the top goalscorer of each La Liga season. Named after the Athletic Bilbao striker Rafael "Pichichi" Moreno, the trophy has been awarded annually since the 1952–53 season.[2] All top scorers who preceded the award's creation were retroactively named Pichichi winners by Marca. Since the 2014–15 season, the top scorer of the women's Liga F is also awarded the Pichichi Trophy.[3][additional citation(s) needed]
