#1 Luis Suarez
The player most likely to chase Messi is his own teammate, Luis Suarez. The Uruguayan has been at his best in La Liga, and he also won the Pichichi Trophy in the 2015-16 season.
Barcelona scored 99 goals last season out of which Suarez scored 25 and assisted 12. He will be on the front end for Barcelona, and he'll be assisted from the wings with crosses coming from Coutinho and Dembele.
The combination of Messi and Suarez is always fascinating to look at and this time too, they will likely prove to be fatal for other defenses.
In addition to these three players, here are a few others who can challenge Messi for the award:
- Iago Aspas
- Diego Costa
- Marco Asensio
