#1 Lionel Messi (Barcelona)
Goals Scored: 5
Trending
Lionel Messi has openly admitted that Barcelona desperately needs to win the Champions League and the newly appointed Barcelona skipper seems to have taken the responsibility himself. The brilliant Argentinean has already scored 12 goals from 12 games in all competitions so far, and in the Champions League, Messi has scored 5 goals from 2 games.
The Argentinean started the new Champions League season with a fantastic hattrick against PSV Eindhoven at home, as Barcelona won their opening game 4-0. He then travelled to Wembley to face Tottenham Hotspur and mesmerized the world, scoring a brace as Barcelona won the hard-fought game 4-2.
However, last weekend, Messi was hurt in the home game against Sevilla FC, where he had to be replaced in the 29th minute. This meant that he had to watch from the stands as Barcelona got the better of Inter at home this week.
The little magician will be hoping to return to action soon and will be raring to resume his goal scoring. A better goal per game average sees him as the Top Contender for the Champions League Golden Boot for the month of October 2018, and he will be hoping that he remains there when we update the list at the end of next month.
