Villarreal star leading all Spanish players in 2024/25 goals | OneFootball

Villarreal star Ayoze Pérez is the first Spanish player to hit the double digit mark for goals in the 2024/25 campaign.

This comes owing to his exploits in Villarreal’s Copa del Rey meeting with Poblense.

Marcelino’s troops marked their return to action on Tuesday night, making the trip to the Estadio Municipal de Sa Pobla for a cup meeting with the aforementioned Poblense.

The Yellow Submarine went on to make short work of their lower league hosts, to the tune of an eventual 6-1 triumph.

And that man Ayoze proved himself the star of the show.

Amid a stellar individual display, the Spanish international directly contributed to all but one of Villarreal’s goals, by way of a hat-trick, and two assists.

And, as alluded to above, in the process, Ayoze secured for himself a Spanish football benchmark.

As revealed by statisticians Opta:

‘Villarreal’s Ayoze Pérez is the eighth player from Europe’s big five leagues to reach 10 goals scored this season across all competitions and the first Spanish player to do so (10 in 2024/25).’
