Leo Messi, involved in 26 Liga goals

Leo Messi is still as decisive as ever. After his hat-trick of assists away to Betis, his goal passes were against a crucial part of the 2-1 win over Getafe. He played a dream assist to Antoine Griezmann with his first touch to open the scoring in a very tight match indeed

That’s an impressive 12 assists so far for Messi in the league, more than any other player. And that’s on top of his 14 goals, which are also a season high. That’s the kind of thing that only the best player on the planet can do.

Second in Europe

To have been involved in 26 goals in 19 games is simply spectacular. That ties him with Jadon Sancho of Dortmund and Timo Werner of Leipzig, and is a tally only topped by Ciro Immobile of Lazio with 31.
