#2 Fifth consecutive Pichichi trophy

Even though Messi said in an interview last year that he does not want individual records and he wanted the whole team to win, the player just can’t stop winning individual accolades. After a fantastic La Liga season, the player ended up with 30 goals in just 35 appearances. This a pure display of dominance as the second position, Gerard Moreno, only has 23 goals.

Even his former teammate, Luis Suarez, who was racing Messi for the Pichichi trophy in the middle of the season, ended up with only 21 goals. This shows us that Messi is a league above the rest and that he is extremely consistent as well.

A fifth consecutive Pichichi trophy has to be a major highlight of his career and he continues to prove his doubters wrong. The player is a generational superstar and it seems like he is only getting better as he ages. We cannot wait to see what he produces next season.
