Telmo Zarraonandia still has the best goalscoring average in a League season with his 38 goals in 30 League matches in the 1950-51 season (1.26 goals per match) and in one complete season that of 1950-51, with 46 goals in 36 League and Copa matches (1.27 goals per match). European Competition goals cannot be added to these statistics, as they did not take place until the 1955-56 season.

Likewise, Real Madrid player, Cristiano Ronaldo, has 38 goals with one League match still left to go (according the referee reports and Real Madrid CF’ official website) and with 45 goals scored in the League and Copa this season, and with one more match to go, he would have to score ten goals in the last match to equalize Zarra’s goalscoring average in the League and fourteen to reach a similar ratio in League and Copa combined.
