Goals Scored - 19

Games played 19, Goals scored 19. Lionel Messi has been in inspired form so far this season. He has already scored 27 goals from 26 games in all competitions and has 17 assists to his name too.

The Argentine started the month with a goal against Getafe, then followed that up with another against SD Eibar, as his team won both games. He started the game against Leganes from the bench but had to come on in the second half to score one and set up another to help Barcelona win 3-1. Last weekend he scored another goal against Girona.

The fact that he has already registered 12 assists in La Liga shows what a beast he is on the pitch! The Argentinean is averaging a goal every 80 minutes played and has recorded a league-high 74 shots, 47 of which have been on target.

With 19 goals from 19 games in La Liga, Lionel Messi, as usual, is the top contender for the Pichichi Trophy again and he will not be giving up that lead easily.
