La Liga top scorer Messi wins record-equalling sixth Pichichi Trophy

Lionel Messi has won the Pichichi Trophy for the sixth time after finishing the season as La Liga's top scorer with 36 goals.

It is the third time in a row the Barcelona star has received the award and sees him equal the record for most wins that was set by former Athletic Club star Telmo Zarra 66 years ago.

Messi finished clear at the top of the chart, scoring both of his side's goals as they finished the campaign with a 2-2 draw at Eibar, putting him 15 goals ahead of second best Luis Suarez and Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema.
