Last year’s Golden Boot is getting closer to picking up the award for the second straight season. Messi is currently the top scorer in major European competitions. The Argentine, with 25 league goals, has scored one more than Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese player is second in the fight for Spanish league top scorer, and also for the Golden Boot prize.

Rivals from other countries are way behind

For example, the Uruguayan Cavani, the Naples player, has scored 20 goals, the Bulgarian Berbatov (Manchester United) has 19 goals in the Premiership and Bayern Munich striker Mario Gomez has scored 18 times in the German Bundesliga.

Over 75% winning games

Of the 250 official Barça matches, 165 correspond to the Spanish league. In total, the club, with Leo Messi in the side - has won 125 matches, i.e. 77% of the matches have ended up in a Barça win. This percentage has gone up a lot since the arrival of Pep Guardiola, since then Messi has seen 81% wins when he’s played in the first team, four points above the average percentage since his debut season in 2004 / 05.
