Games played 19, Goals scored 19. Lionel Messi has been in inspired form so far this season. He has already scored 27 goals from 26 games in all competitions and has 17 assists to his name too.
The Argentine started the month with a goal against Getafe, then followed that up with another against SD Eibar, as his team won both games. He started the game against Leganes from the bench but had to come on in the second half to score one and set up another to help Barcelona win 3-1. Last weekend he scored another goal against Girona.

The fact that he has already registered 12 assists in La Liga shows what a beast he is on the pitch! The Argentinean is averaging a goal every 80 minutes played and has recorded a league-high 74 shots, 47 of which have been on target.
With 19 goals from 19 games in La Liga, Lionel Messi, as usual, is the top contender for the Pichichi Trophy again and he will not be giving up that lead easily.

Deepungsu Pandit
Deepungsu is a veteran football journalist who has been covering daily transfer roundups and news for over six years at Sportskeeda. He has written 9000 articles for the website, and has garnered over 19.5 million reads.
Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
