Leo Messi scored a second brace in succession against Granada on Saturday January 9, rehashing his double against Athletic midweek and now gets himself two goals clear at the top of the Liga goalscoring chart.
Messi currently has eleven goals, and tops Gerard Moreno who has 10, Iago Aspas (9) and Luis Suárez (9). Should he win the Pichichi prize again this year, it would be the eighth time he has done as such.
The goals in Granada additionally imply that the Barça genius has now gone for 10 years and half scoring in any event ten goals each league season. Clearly, something no one has ever done before.
