Lionel Messi is already the record winner of this award, having won it for the fifth time in his career last season and this term he is involved in a one-man race to extend his record to six.
The 31-year-old has scored an unbelievable 33 La Liga goals from just 29 matches, while he also leads the way with a league high 12 assists.
The latest of his goals came when he scored late on to make it 2-0 in the match against Atletico Madrid and effectively end the Rojiblancos' La Liga challenge.
It is however not only in Spain that Messi has delivered, as he also leads the way in terms of goals scored on the continent with eight goals as he leads the charge to guide Barcelona to the third treble in their history.
