Lionel Messi has won LaLiga's Pichichi Trophy for an eighth time and the fifth season running, after finishing the campaign with 30 goals. Messi may well have played his final game for Barcelona. He did not feature in Saturday's win over Eibar, having been granted permission to take a break ahead of Argentina's Copa America campaign. The year-old is out of contract at the end of next month and it is not yet clear where his future lies. Though despite the uncertainty, Messi has not failed to deliver on the pitch, and from 35 league appearances, he netted 30 times — 17 clear of Antoine Griezmann, who ranks second for Barca on Messi's goals came from a total of shots, with 27 from his left, one from his right and two from his head. Three of the goals came from the penalty spot, and three from trademark pinpoint free-kicks. Overall, Messi averaged a goal every minutes in the league season. Barring a huge effort by Sevilla's Youssef En-Nesyri, who faces Deportivo Alaves on Sunday, Messi will finish seven clear of his nearest rival, with Karim Benzema registering 23 league strikes.
