Vedat Muriqi has concluded a statistically remarkable 2025/26 season, cementing his legacy in Spanish football despite RCD Mallorca's disappointing relegation. The Kosovo striker scored an impressive 23 goals in La Liga, a performance that highlighted his individual brilliance throughout the campaign.
Despite Muriqi’s efforts, Mallorca struggled to maintain their top-flight status, finishing 18th in the league table with 42 points from 38 matches. The club will compete in the second division next season.
However, Muriqi’s contributions have etched his name into the history books. He has officially surpassed club legend Samuel Eto'o to become Mallorca's all-time leading goalscorer in La Liga. Additionally, he set a new club record for the most goals scored by a single player in one La Liga season.
La Liga officials have publicly recognized his impact, recently highlighting one of his standout headed goals against Elche on social media. Fans and the league often refer to him as the "Pirate of Mallorca," a testament to his fighting spirit on the pitch.
