The ranking of scorers of LaLiga leads it Messi, gone on down the attacker of the Villarreal, Gerard Moreno, whereas the third place is for Luis Suárez

Calendar of FC Barcelona

Leo Messi began the season of a form never sight. It asked to go out of the club, went out several of the main players of the staff and had to lead to a young team with an apparent little motivation. It cost him see goal and involve again in the parties, but little by little see again to the Argentinian star that shined in the past.

If there is something that it is necessary to recognise him to "The Flea" is that it never has left to try show his best football. Although his state anímico was not the best, was the one who led the Barcelona attack. This 2021 has begun with very good foot with two doublets: one in Saint Mamés and the another in The Cármenes.

The captain goes back to smile and that is the best news for the fan. In spite of the criticisms, these four goals have served him to plant already at most goleador of the League with 11 goals in 17 parties. The past week, went his good fellow, Luis Suárez (9), the one who occupied the forward in said ranking, and to follow like this, everything aims that said place will be between the two sudamericanos. Although it would not have to descartarse to the forward of the Villarreal Gerard Moreno.

In the last seven parties of the Catalan group, Messi has seen goal in five of them in League and has marked a total of eight goals. It marked against it Raise, Valencia, Real Valladolid, Athletic Club (2) and Granada (2). A good series that confirms the commitment of Messi with his team and does to dream to the culés with a good end of season.

His fellow and now rival

It does not leave to be curious that the main threat of Messi to win the tournament was Luis Suárez, his ex mate in the Barcelona and one of the best friends that has had. The Barça yielded it, better said, gave it to the Athletic of Madrid, a direct rival, only to save the cost of his index card and is paying it expensive. The 'colchoneros' are the current leaders of LaLiga and surpass to the culés by four points in the table of positions.

With alone 12 parties, the Uruguayan attacker has achieved to mark nine goals. The past day of LaLiga slept how maximum goleador, but today have surpassed it Messi and Moreno. The rojiblancos could not contest his party against the Athletic Club by the storm Filomena, but will play a day postponed this Tuesday. If they achieve the victory will move away of his perseguidores, remaining to 6 points of the Real Madrid and 7 of the Barça. With a team that does not possess a big capacity goleadora, the victory and keep first depends largely of Luis Suárez.

Moreno does not remain backwards

The Spanish forward of the Villarreal does not remain backwards. It occupies the second place of the ranking of maxima goleadores of LaLiga Santander, looming so much to Messi as to Suárez. It carries 10 goals in 16 parties and in the two last days (Raise and Huesca) has seen the goal of his rivals. To keep this performance, can not descartarse that it receive a call of Luis Enrique.
