The MSN putting the BBC to bed in race for Pichichi

The MSN putting the BBC to bed in race for Pichichi

The MSN have scored more than double the number of goals in La Liga that the Madrid trident have managed

Seven weeks in La Liga have passed and the current Pichichi (top scorer) is Atletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann on six, followed closely by the MSN trident. Luis Suarez is so far the most inspired, with 5 goals, while Leo Messi and Neymar Jr have four goals each. The Argentine has had the handicap of the injury that has stopped him playing recently, while Neymar started the season late after his return from the Rio Olympics.

So the three Barcelona forwards have 13 goals between them in La Liga, a number far higher than the BBC. Bale, three, Benzema two, and Ronaldo, one. A total of six - so the MSN have more than double. 

Here is the chart of top scorers:

ANTOINE GRIEZMANN (Atlético) 6

LUIS SUÁREZ (Barça) 5

LIONEL MESSI (Barça) 4

NEYMAR (Barça) 4

RUBÉN CASTRO (Betis) 4
