Lionel Messi, top of the race for the Golden Boot 
Barcelona star Lionel Messi climbed to the very top of the race of the European Golden Boot with his remarkable hat-trick against Rayo Vallecano on Sunday. The Argentinean wizard continues to impress on a weekly basis, eager to take the responsibility to take his team forward and making his teammates better as a result. Considering Messi was a whole 12 goals behind Cristiano Ronaldo only 11 matches ago, there is no denying that the Barca forward is on an impressive goalscoring run to be proud of.

If the newly arrived Braida was truly serious about his job, then he would certainly stop discussing matters which could ultimately affect the team’s current streak of positive results. Let’s not touch what works!
