Although Leo Messi has been the 'Pichichi' of goals and assistances of LaLiga 2019-20, some keep insisting in planting to Karim Benzema in front of the Argentinian star

Neither with having won LaLiga Santander 2019-20, the third in the last twelve years, seems to have sufficient reasons of joy the madridismo. The most radical sectors deny to see the things with objectivity, and pretend that the Real Madrid no only seem the just champion of the tournament (minimising the helps of the VAR) but one of his key players, Karim Benzema, was considered by the imaginary community like the footballer more determinant.

We go by parts. The French forward has completed possibly his best campaign with the Real Madrid (although it has not been the most prolific regarding goals), and has turned into the offensive reference of the team in moments determinants. It competed with Leo Messi by the Pichichi until the last day, but finally the Argentinian gave a hit on of the table and carried it to him with a figure of 25 goals, four more than the Frenchman (21).

Messi also has beaten this season 2019-20, in LaLiga Santander, the record of assistances achieved by a player in a same course: 21 passes of goal of the rosarino for his mates, that joined to his 25 goals leave clear that has been the epicentre of the offensive game of the FC Barcelona and, besides, the most decisive footballer to individual level.

From some means of the 'cavern' mediática, however, are looking for him the three feet to the cat to try manipulate the version and plant to Benzema above Messi. The main argument that esgrimen is that the goals of Benzema arrived against rivals more important and demanding that the goals of Messi. They conclude, although without speaking of the points and exact parties, that the 21 goals of Benzema gave to the Madrid 16 points, whereas the 25 of Messi allowed that the Barcelona added 11 points.

This yes, in any moment speak of the chapter of assistances and of the capital incidence that has had Leo Messi in the goals of the FC Barcelona during all the season, in practically all the parties, when having participated in 46 targets between definitions and passes ofgoal . I suppose that in the 'cavern' interests to happen this small detail by high to follow radicalizando to the followers merengues.

Messi has evolved this season

Fallacies aside, more cost to take to laugh this type of articles and take into account that Leo Messi, although this year it will not be able to win the Boot of Gold (has 6 in his list of winners), yes has gone back to make history in the section of assistances. Something that shows that, to his 33 years, follows evolving in his game and can that over time it improve even more the facet of pasador. It will be necessary to see if it does it keeping his figures goleadoras, that still are basic for the Barça.
