Lionel Messi's statistics on the domestic level are just unbeatable. The 32-year-old amassed 36 goals and registered 13 assists in 34 appearances he made for the Catalans in La Liga.

Messi lifted his sixth Golden boot for scoring 36 goals in the league. He beat Kylian Mbappe and Fabio Quagliarella who finished behind him with 33 and 26 goals respectively.

The Argentine with his exemplary performances throughout the league led his side to another La Liga trophy which is their 8th in 11 years. Messi bailed out Barcelona on various occasions all round the campaign and if not for his extraordinary numbers, the Blaugrana would have struggled to challenge for the title.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner consistently dominated the whole season. Messi throughout the season exhibited signs of greatness and oozed class as he reminded the world each weekend why he is branded the best player in the world.
