La Liga 2016/17: Top 5 Contenders for the Pichichi Trophy

#1. Lionel Messi – 23

Surprise, surprise! Lionel Messi tops the goalscorers chart this season in Spain, and the way it’s going it’s highly unlikely that anyone – even his great friend and teammate Luis Suarez will take the trophy away from him this season.

The numbers, as always with the little Argentine, are off the charts. He has bagged his 23 goals at the quite frankly ludicrous 85 minutes a pop in La Liga. He’s scored with 58% of the shots he’s taken, and he’s accounted for 30% of all the goals that Barcelona have scored this season. Oh, and he’s also got 7 assists to his name.A recent dip in form has seen many an armchair expert write him off, most notably the former French manager Raymond Domenech, but you write of Leo Messi at your peril.
