Match week 20 of La Liga saw some important turn of events. This week had everything for football fans, from close encounters to upsets. Below the table, Almeria held Girona to a draw forcing them to drop points. Valencia secures a crushing win over Cadiz. The clash between Alaves and Sevilla turned out to be a thriller of an encounter with Alaves registering the win by a narrow margin. However, let’s talk about the point of the article, “Goals”, and there have been many in this match week.
1. Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid)
The wonder boy of Real Madrid is the La Liga top scorer as of now. With a staggering 13 goals this season, the English midfielder has taken the La Liga by storm. Though Real Madrid was in a crisis for strikers at the start of the season after Karim Benzema left for Saudi, Bellingham has not let that crisis cause Madrid any problems. His long-distance shots and last-minute goals have saved Madrid on so many occasions this season.

2. Borja Mayoral
The second on the list is the Spanish forward Borja Mayoral who plays for Getafe. The 26-year-old joined Getafe last season and has been showing his true prowess since then. With 12 goals in 19 matches, Mayoral is second on the list just one goal behind Bellingham. His superb performance against Atletico earned Getafe a hard-earned draw at the Metropolitan.
3. Alvaro Morata (Atletico Madrid)
The Spanish forward has been in staggering form this season. Morata is the main man for Simeone in that front line apart from Griezmann. His movements inside the box are what makes him such a deadly predator in front of the goal. With a staggering eleven goals, Morata is third in the list of top goal scorers.
4. Antoine Griezmann (Atletico Madrid)
The French maestro is the fourth on the list with a staggering eleven goals in the season till now. Griezmann is the heart of that Atletico team. The way he makes those runs in behind as well as his passing is what makes him so much special. With Memphis Depay’s poor form, Griezmann has complemented Morata in a superb way this season.
5. Artem Dovbyk (Girona)
The Ukrainian professional has been breathing fire for Girona ever since he arrived during the summer transfer window. He has already racked up eleven goals and five assists for his side. He is one of the major reasons for Girona being so successful this season. He and Couto complement each other very well in counterattacks.
