Messi wins Pichichi for the 6th time, equal to the record of a legend

Văn Thắng |

Striker Lionel Messi had a successful individual season when he won the Pichichi title for the 6th time and also had a 6th season reaching the milestone of 50 goals in all competitions.

In the 2018-19 La Liga comeback against Eibar, Lionel Messi continued to show impressive goal-scoring form with a double goal that helped Barcelona draw 2-2. In the end, the Argentine superstar officially won the Golden Boot award in La Liga (commonly known as Pichichi) with 36 goals.

This is also the number of goals that helped Messi win the Pichichi award last season. Thus, up to now, the Argentine striker has won 6 Pichichi tournaments. It was enough for him to equal the record of legend Telmor Zarra, who has also won the La Liga Top Scorer title 6 times in the past.

Including this season, Lionel Messi has won the Pichichi award for 3 consecutive seasons. The Barcelona striker is the first to do so since Hugo Sanchez (4 consecutive times since 1984-86). Barcelona is also the first club in La Liga history to own the Pichichi tournament for 4 consecutive seasons. Before Messi scored a hat-trick, Suarez won this award in the 2015-16 season.

Not only won the Pichichi award in the 2018-19 season, Messi also leads the list of assists with 13 passes to goals, equal to the achievement of Pablo Sarabia (Sevilla). With 36 goals, he is currently leading the European golden shoe race.

El Pulga's closest finish in the race is Kylian Mbappe (32 goals). Messi has also surpassed his arch-rival Cristiano Ronaldo in goals for club. Leo has 602 goals in 686 matches while Ronaldo has only 601 goals in 805 matches.

With 36 goals in La Liga, Messi has significantly surpassed PSG's Kylian Mbappe in the European Golden Boot race. The PSG striker just scored a double in the win over Dijon and increased his goal tally to 32.

In addition to the Pichichi and Golden Boot titles, Messi is also almost certain to win the top scorer title in the Champions League for the 6th time with 12 goals. The two closest people to improve their scoring record are Tottenham's Harry Kane and Lucas Moura, who have only scored 5 goals.
