Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi set sights on a tricky challenge
Only once in history have two players from the same team shared a Pichichi at the end of the season
FC Barcelona stars Luis Suarez and Leo Messi are in a state of grace in front of goal. They lead the top scorers chart, with 15 strikes in La Liga each. Maintaining their goalscoring average until the end of the season will not be easy. In fact, only once in history have two players from the same team shared a Pichichi at the end of the season.
Garate and Luis Aragones of Atletico Madrid, in 1969-70 did just that, ending up with 16 goals each after their 30 game season. On that occasion former Real Madrid man Amancio also got the same number of goals, so they shared it with him too. According to Marca in none of the other big european leagues has this happened.
Being great friends, both Suarez and Messi would love to share the trophy at the end of the season and the difficulty of the challenge will be extra motivation.
