Athletics 2-3 Barcelona Level with three players
Lionel Messi scored two goals in Barcelona’s 3-2 away win over Athletic Club Wednesday night to move the joint top in the race for the Pichichi trophy.
The award, which was presented to LaLiga Santander’s top scorer, has already been won by Argentina seven times and in the last season in Barcelona, he will try to secure it for an eighth time.
This prop against Athletes takes him up to nine goals for the campaign, equal to Iago Aspas, Luis Suarez and Gerard Moreno.
Unbelievable, Messi scored just one goal in his first six games of the season, yet he has woken up ever since. He has scored four goals in his last four games, and the only game he has failed to score was against Huesca, thanks to an incredible performance from Alvaro Fernandez.
Messi look back at his best and his commitment to Pedri seems to be growing with the week.
