5 best forwards in La Liga at the moment

#2 Lionel Messi

Barcelona will be counting on Messi to deliver them silverware this season

What can be said about Messi that the world already does not know? The Argentine maestro gave us the most iconic image of the season when he celebrated the winner against Real Madrid in a pulsating Clasico by holding his shirt aloft to the supporters.

That moment has just been one among the many magic moments the Barcelona legend gave us to savour in the 2016/17 season. Top of the pichichi standings with an incredible 37 goals, Messi has shown a ruthless streak in his game this season which has made him even more dangerous.

Not afraid to get physical and take the game by the scruff of the neck, Messi has once again evolved his game in this campaign. Barcelona did not win either La Liga or Champions League last season, but Messi will be determined to sparkle his magic and lift his team to the top spot this season.

In any other League, Messi would be number 1 for his performances last season.
