#2 Lionel Messi – 68.345 minutes per goal/assist
Barcelona’s talisman and the leading European golden boot forward, Lionel Messi, is only second on this list. The Argentine has had yet another superb season with the Catalans finding the back of the net a staggering 45 times! (7 penalties)
Add to that the 17 assists he’s had a hand in, and in a total of 44 appearances, with two coming from the bench, and you have a rough idea as to why the diminutive forward is this high up the list – barring his usual field-dominating performances, of course.
Messi has played a total of 3759 minutes for FC Barcelona this season and averages a goal or an assist every 68.345 minutes making him the second most productive striker in all of Europe.
