Calendar of FC Barcelona

Leo Messi began the 2021 like a shot and carries three months to an extraordinary level. The Argentinian is playing surely his best football in the last years and has gone in in the 'way imparable' in which it has been so many and so many years in his career. In what it goes of year, the '10' carries 19 goals in 19 parties between all the competitions and has been key for the takeoff of the FC Barcelona in League.

In addition to the 19 so many, the one of Rosario has delivered in these 19 meetings other 7 assistances. In total, this course the great Barcelona captain 29 targets and 13 passes of goal, by what anybody doubts that it is doing a temporadón. However, centring alone in his 2021, that is what is being truly impressive, the forward has been chosen the best of Europe in what it goes of year.

The observatory CIES has chosen him like the best footballer of the five big Leagues of the three months that have happened of 2021. With an only methodology to analyse and compare the performance of the players independently of his position, Leo has surpassed to other important names like Robert Lewandowski, Cristiano Ronaldo​ or Jorginho, mediocentro of Chelsea.

The Pole of the Bayern of Munich and the midfield player 'blue' are second and third and complete the podium led by Messi. The Argentinian is the first with 92,5 points of 100 and the Bavarian tip and the italo-Brazilian empatan with 89,5 points. Cristiano remains them near, but is in the place fifth with 89,3 points. The luso has not begun so well the year as it had liked him and remains to the doors of the best.

It is necessary to leave clear that this study only takes into account the statistics of the national competitions. In the case of Lewandowski, the Pole has annotated in 2021 18 so many in 13 days, whereas Leo has marked 16 in 12 meetings. The difference between both has been that the rosarino has given 7 assistances, whereas the one of Warszawa only has given two. Besides, the one of the Barça has contributed more things to the game of his team that the one of the Bayern.

Kroos, Benzema and Luis Suárez, in the list

It fits to stand out that to the margin of the captain of the Barcelona, in LaLiga there are other representatives in this list. Toni Kroos, Karim Benzema and Luis Suárez also appear in the same, although the one who more high appears, that is the German, is seventh. The one of the Real Madrid remains very far of Messi, that is of long the best of the world and that also is the best of what goes of year.
