Barcelona forward Lionel Messi picked up his fourth “Pichichi” trophy at an awards ceremony held by the Marca sports newspaper on Monday, in recognition of the 37 goals scored in the Spanish League during the 2016-17 season.

The Argentine, who currently leads this season’s La Liga scoring with 14 goals, also received the Alfredo Di Stefano trophy for the league’s best player.

Messi’s teammate Andres Iniesta was named the Most Valuable Player of Spain’s National Team.

Marca reported that Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak received his second Zamora Trophy, awarded to the keeper who records the lowest goals per games ratio.
