Messi is not from this planet: ninth season scoring 30 goals or more in LaLiga

Leo Messi reached for the ninth season in his career the 30-goal bar. A number of goals that allows him to comfortably lead the 'top scorer' and that opens the doors to achieve the eighth of his career, the fifth in a row, thus surpassing two myths such as Di Stefano and Hugo Sánchez, who reaped four in a row.

What's more, goal number 30 was made in an unusual way, with a header, thus reaching number 25 in his career. In fact, a goal from his head became world famous. since he marked it in a Champions League final against Manchester United beating Van der Sar after a great assist from Xavi Hernández. On this occasion, the center has been of another great passer, Sergio Busquets.

In any case, Messi is far from his maximum scoring record in LaLiga, which he achieved in the 2011/12 season, with a total of 50 goals. Curiously, this scoring record was not enough to take the title. Other seasons that exceeded the thirty goal barrier were: 2012/13 (46), 2014/15 (43), 2016/17 (37), 2018/19 (36), 2009/10 (34), 2017/18 (34) and 2010/11 (31).

Last season had to settle for only 25 targets, such a low number of so many had not achieved it since the 2008/09 campaign, with 23.
