#2 Luis Suarez – Barcelona – 63 goals in first 71 games
Barcelona prised Luis Suarez away from Liverpool for a huge fee, and since he scored 69 goals in 110 games for the Reds, the Catalans could have expected a rate comparable to 0.63 goals per game. However, the Uruguayan has blown away all of his La Liga opponents, racking up 63 goals in 71 games for, a stunning rate of 0.89 goals per game.
Suarez netted the second goal in the previous 3-2 win over Valencia in Neymar’s 100th game, and they are now his favourite opponents, with Los Che conceding 7 times against him. Real Madrid have suffered thrice at the feet of the feisty Uruguayan, but if Suarez continues his career at Barcelona that number is likely to increase.
#1 Cristiano Ronaldo – Real Madrid – 111 goals in first 100 goals
The Portuguese superstar has many a record, and his rate of 1.11 goals per game in his first 100 games for Real Madrid is the best in La Liga. After his first 100 games, Ronaldo has stunningly gone on to score at a similar rate of 1.06 gpg, plundering in 151 goals in 142 games since, bringing his La Liga total to 262 goals in 242 games for Real Madrid.
Ronaldo is in the midst of his worst spell of form in a Real Madrid shirt, going 4 games without scoring, which is a testimony to how regularly he scores. The Portugal star’s favourite opponents are Sevilla, who have conceded 22 times against him. Barcelona are also one of Ronaldo’s most favourite opponents, as he has scored 16 times against Madrid’s hated rivals.
