The incredible goal scoring season of La Liga 2014-2015
The La Liga 2014/2015 season in Spain was the season when it was practically raining goals. Lionel Messi scored 43 goals for his Barcelona but was nowhere near to win the top scorer title as Cristiano Ronaldo scored an incredible 48 goals(!) for his Real Madrid, including eight hat-tricks (including a match with four goals and one with five), while Messi "only" managed to score five hat-tricks.

During the period that Ronaldo had a bit weaker goal production, Messi steady scored goals in almost every match. This meant that Messi was only one goal behind Ronaldo with four matches to go of La Liga and his scoring stability indicated that he could still become the top scorer of 2014/2015. However, Ronaldo had a magnificent finish as he scored three hat-tricks in the last four matches, including three goals in the 8-0 victory away against Córdoba and a hat-trick in the final 7-3 victory in the Madrid derby against Getafe.
In addition to Ronaldo's 48 goals, he also had 16 assists and Messi had 18 assists during the season.
