Frequently Asked Questions

Cristiano Ronaldo is second with 311 goals in 292 matches for Real Madrid (2009-2018) — remarkably higher goals-per-match ratio (1.07) but fewer total matches played.

Athletic Bilbao 8 titles. Between them, Real Madrid and Barcelona account for 63 of La Liga's 94 seasons won — a duopoly broken only by Atlético (11 wins), Athletic (8), Valencia (6), and occasional others like Deportivo La Coruña (1999-00) and Atlético in recent memory.
