The curtain has fallen on the 2024/2025 La Liga season, and two footballing giants have taken center stage with their extraordinary performances. Kylian Mbappé and Jan Oblak emerged as the standout individual performers, each receiving the league’s most prestigious accolades for their incredible contributions.
Mbappé clinched the La Liga Golden Boot (Pichichi Trophy) with a staggering 31 goals, while Oblak secured the Zamora Trophy for best goalkeeper—remarkably, for a record sixth time. Both players played pivotal roles for their respective teams, proving once again why they are considered among the elite in world football.
Their achievements are not just personal milestones but also a testament to their consistency, resilience, and world-class quality. As the season draws to a close, these honors mark a fitting end to a thrilling La Liga campaign.

In a season full of expectations and pressure, Mbappé rose to the occasion. His brace in the final game of the season against Real Sociedad sealed his claim to the Pichichi Trophy, awarded to the league’s highest goal scorer. Notably, he became the first Real Madrid player since Ruud van Nistelrooy in 2006/07 to win the Pichichi in his debut season.
Although Real Madrid narrowly missed out on the league title and finished second, Mbappé’s attacking brilliance was a constant force throughout the campaign. His goals, creativity, and leadership in the final third turned many tight games in Madrid’s favor.
Mbappé’s La Liga top scorer award also helped him capture the European Golden Shoe, marking the first time in his career he has won the coveted continental prize. This adds another jewel to the crown of a player who continues to redefine greatness.
Jan Oblak: Atletico Madrid’s Unbreakable Wall
While Mbappé dazzled in attack, Jan Oblak was once again a commanding figure in goal. The Slovenian international maintained an elite standard throughout the season, earning him the Zamora Trophy—given to the goalkeeper with the lowest goals-to-games ratio in La Liga—for a record-setting sixth time.
Oblak played in 36 league matches and conceded just 30 goals, averaging a mere 0.83 goals per match. His incredible consistency and calmness under pressure were vital for Atletico Madrid’s third-place finish, especially in tightly contested matches.

Their individual honors not only reflect their own brilliance but also underline the importance of individual contributions to team success. Whether scoring crucial goals or making vital saves, Mbappé and Oblak have etched their names in La Liga folklore.
As fans look forward to the next chapter in Spanish football, one thing is certain: the 2024/25 season will always be remembered as the one where Mbappé conquered La Liga’s scoring charts, and Oblak reaffirmed his dominance as its ultimate last line of defense.
