Top Contenders for the La Liga Golden Boot: December 2018

#4 Luis Suarez (Uruguay, Barcelona)

Rayo Vallecano de Madrid v FC Barcelona - La Liga

Goals Scored - 9

Suarez has continued in his place at the 4th position in the race.After a hat-trick against Real Madrid at the end of October, the Uruguayan started November on similar note, scoring a brace against Rayo Vallecano, helping Barcelona seal a hard fought 3-2 win. In the following game against Real Betis, Suarez failed to score, as Barcelona endured a disappointing 3-4 defeat at home.

After the International Break, the Uruguayan failed to find the back of the net against Athletico Madrid. Last week, he picked up a knee injury in the Champions League tie against PSV Eindhoven, which kept him out of last weekend's game against Villareal. The Uruguayan is expected to be out until the middle of December with the injury, meaning that he might lose vital ground in this race.

Suarez has scored 9 goals from 13 games in La Liga and has recorded 36 shots so far, 22 of which have been on target. He averages a goal every 122 minutes this season, and at the start of December is 4th in the race to the La Liga Golden Boot.
