Athletic 2-3 Barcelona Level with three players
Lionel Messi scored two goals in Barcelona’s 3-2 victory at Athletic Club Wednesday night to move to the top of the race for the Pichichi Trophy.
The award given to the top scorer in LaLiga Santander has been won by the Argentine on seven occasions and, in what could be his last season in Barcelona, will try to secure it for the eighth time.
This kind of counter Athletic brings him up to nine goals for the campaign, tied with Iago Aspas, Luis Suarez i Gerard Moreno.
Incredibly, Messi he scored just one goal in his first six games of the season, though he has since woken up. He has scored four goals in his last four games and the only game he has not been able to score was against Huesca, thanks to an incredible display by Alvaro Fernández.
Messi is looking back at its best and its connection with Pedri It seems to grow every week.
