1) Neymar & Luis Suarez (Barcelona): 10 goals

When Lionel Messi injured his knee in the end of September 2015, Barcelona were put to the test for the next few weeks. Would Neymar and Luis Suarez step up in the Argentine magician’s absence?

There was never a doubt. The South American pair saw Barcelona through a tough period when they suffered just one loss at the hands of Sevilla – the last time they lost a game this season. So effective were the pair that Messi’s rushed return in the Clasico was not even required as Neymar and Suarez scored three in the 4-0 win at the Bernabeu.

The pair proved that the club could thrive without Messi in the lineup and they were just as ruthless with or without him.
