“I am grateful for receiving the Pichichi Trophy for the top scorer in Laliga. This journey has been filled with passion, hard work, and the support of my teammates, coaches, and fans. Thank you for being a part of this incredible achievement,” Lewandowski’s post reads.

Barcelona goalkeeper Marc Andre Ter Stegen also won the Zamora award for best goalkeeper as well as the Di Stefano award which is for the best player of the season. Pedri won the Fan Favourite Player of the Season.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham is currently the top scorer in the ongoing 2023/2024 Laliga with 10 goals and two assists in 11 games, while Lewandowski has seven goals and three assists from 11 games amid an injury-induced setback. Villarreal’s Gerrard Moreno and Atletico Madrid’s Antoine Griezman have netted eight goals each.

Meanwhile, aside from his seven goals and three assists in the current Laliga campaign, Lewandowski has also scored three goals and provided one assist in six Euro 2024 qualification games for Poland.

Barcelona are currently third in the Laliga table with 30 points after 13 matches.
