For the first time in six years, someone not named Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi has won the famed Pichichi award for most goals scored in a single season. Luis Suarez took the award, hitting 40 goals on the year and leading Barcelona to a second-straight La Liga title.
The Spanish League is almost over and with the home stretch underway, it seems like an appropriate time to take a look at some of the best goals scored in La Liga.
Here are the top 10 goals of the 2015-16 season, so far.
Barcelona is running away with La Liga and the winning record books and there is currently little that Real Madrid can do. Everything entering Saturday's fated Clasico seems to be stacked against Madrid's team, but is there any reason to believe that the team can truly compete at the Camp Nou, where it has struggled in recent years? Here are some reasons to believe that Madrid can win the 2:30 PM EST match at the Camp Nou this Saturday April 2.
Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo were back to work in two separate games this week - one in the Champions League and another in the Spanish league.
Both players faced rather unimportant Champions League tilts but had crucial fixtures in Spain to resolve.
In 2010, Barcelona performed the "manita" on Real Madrid, taking down its rivals 5-0 on its home field.
It was arguably the finest performance by Barcelona in the Clasico and a defining performance of the tiki taka style that flourished during its "Golden Generation."
On Saturday, the team topped that feat taking down Los Blancos 4-0 in Madrid.
It was a match defined by Barcelona's efficiency in attack without Lionel Messi making a major impact on the proceedings. On the other end of the pitch was a Madrid team that had no answer for a Blaugrana side finding its stride.
In many ways this match was as much a show of Barcelona brilliance as it was of calamitous Madrid play. So what went wrong for Los Blancos?
