FC Barcelona and Real Madrid arrived equalised to the final sprint by LaLiga, but everything aims to that the whites will carry the title. The wear and the errors of the Barcelona combined with the capacity of survival of the pupilos of Zinedine Zidane and with the referee's controversies that benefited them, what allowed them recover the leadership and, nine days afterwards, have to shot the mathematical sentence.

Although in other occasions has been an extra ilusionante, in this campaign the Trophy Pichichi has turned into a prize of consolación that could encumbrar more if it fits to Leo Messi. The physical problems and the doubts of the team have happened bill to the of Rosario, that even so it has known to mark differences. In spite of being far of the career by the Boot of Gold, soon could desempatar with Telmo Zarra and turn into the only footballer of the history with seven entorchados to the maximum scorer of the First Spanish Division.

In these moments, the Argentinian heads the classification of realizadores in Spain with 22 so many, in a campaign in which it keeps like dominador absolute in the generation of goals. In 31 parties and 2.699 minutes has built this register, but also has stood out like assistant and his numbers are of scandal. The 20 definite passes that has delivered constitute a personal record and in the competition.

This yes, the captain barcelonista can not relax because Karim Benzema follows him presionando, and with 19 targets in his 35 apparitions (3.005 minutes), does not give by defeated in this battle. The French has had to assume responsibilities after the goodbye of Cristiano Ronaldo, and has dared to plant face to the biggest. The 'merengues' would not be so up without his contribution, since it also adds eight assistances.

With Gerard Moreno and his 16 goals closing the podium, special quotation deserves Luis Suárez. The one of Jump has had to confront to the criticisms by an irregular course, but especially to some annoyances in the knee that forced him to go through the operating theatre. Not even several months of drop have avoided that his 15 so many and eight assistances in 26 commitments (1.879 minutes) plant him in the fourth place of the table.

Messi does not conform with the individual trophies

Messi has admitted that the individual trophies do him illusion, but always has recalcado that prefers the communities. It is thus that will not be happy in a season that the Barça aims to finish in white, since before LaLiga, that depends on a miracle, the culés left to escape the Glass of Rey and the Supercopa of Spain. The last attempt will be the most difficult still, a Champions that will take place in August.
