Spanish League Top Scorer List: Lionel Messi Begins Leaving Luis Suarez

DBasia.news – The 2020-2021 Spanish League is even more interesting in this 24th week. Not only the struggle for first place in the standings, but the struggle for the top position in the list of top scorers in the Spanish League is also not exciting.

Previously, the top position in the race for the el pichichi trophy was dominated by two players, namely Lionel Messi (Barcelona) and Luis Suarez (Atletico Madrid) with both collecting 16 goals.

However, after the postponed match that brought Barcelona vs Elche on Thursday (25/2/2021) ended 3-0, the top position of the 2020-2021 Spanish League top scorer list changed. Now the first rank has been controlled by Messi.

Because Messi managed to contribute two goals in Barcelona’s 3-0 win over Elche. Thanks to these two goals, La Pulga – the nickname Messi – stands alone in the 2020-2021 Spanish League top scorer list with a total of 18 goals.

Of course what Messi did was extraordinary. Given that Messi started this season poorly. Messi has scored just one goal in his first six matches with Barcelona in the 2020-2021 Spanish League.

Messi, who had a difficult time at the start of the season, has now begun to rise, especially since 2021. Because when the year changes to 2021, Messi is able to score 11 goals. So, 11 of the 18 goals Messi has scored so far in the Spanish League have only come in 2021.

Even though many say that the 2020-2021 season is Messi’s worst year with Barcelona. However, in that worst season Messi was able to prove himself that he was a great player because he was still able to compete for the top scorer trophy in the Spanish League.

Apart from all that, of course Messi’s position at the top of the 2020-2021 Spanish League top scorers list is still not safe because he is only two goals ahead of Suarez, who is in second place.

Suarez also appeared as great as Atletico Madrid. This year is the Uruguayan striker’s first season with Los Rojiblancos – Atletico’s nickname.

Then in third place in the 2020-2021 Spanish League top scorer standings controlled by Villarreal striker, namely Gerard Moreno. The 28-year-old striker has so far collected 14 goals in the 2020-2021 Spanish League.
