Messi Pichichi
Lionel Messi scored a double on the last day of the Spanish League to add another record to his voluminous list of scrolls: the first footballer to proclaim himself a scoring champion on seven separate occasions.
The Argentine star scored his goals in the 5-0 that Barcelona endorsed Alavés on Sunday. Messi’s harvest was 25 goals, four more than Karim Benzema of Real Madrid.
The visit to the Basque club court was inconsequential for Messi and Barcelona in terms of qualifying. After two seasons at the top, the Barça team was dethroned by Madrid.
“The individual awards and recognitions are secondary. It is true that it could be a very important brand because of how significant it can be to get seven Pichichis, ”said Messi.
“I wish that, if it had happened, it would have been accompanied by the league,” he added.
Messi left behind the brand that he shared since last year with the legendary striker Telmo Zarra, who in the 1940s and 50s won the Pichichi trophy six times for the top scorer with Athletic Bilbao.
The azulgrana star has been the best netbreaker in Spain before this tournament in 2010 (34), 2012 (50), 2013 (46), 2017 (37), 2018 (34) and 2019 (36).
Messi also celebrated his 21st goal pass, to expand the record for assists in a league season.
Leganés de Rosales could not
Madrid ended their campaign with a 2-2 draw that sentenced Leganés to relegation after four years in the first division.
Equality ended the 10-win streak chained by Madrid when the tournament resumed after the break due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Zinedine Zidane’s men won their 34th league title – and the first in three years – last Thursday. The meringues closed with a five-point advantage over Barcelona.
Despite not winning in the last seven dates, Celta survived after drawing 0-0 with bottom club Espanyol. The Vigo club will play in first for the ninth year in a row next season.
Tearfully, the captain of the Leganés Unai Bustinza regretted the descent and mentioned adversity in a country hit by the pandemic.
“The situation in the country is bad and hopefully what we have done will be an example, keeping us alive until the end, fighting, not lowering our heads,” said Bustinza.
Espanyol and the penultimate Mallorca had already been sentenced to relegation.
Sergio Ramos put Madrid ahead with a header in the nineth minute, his sixth goal since the restart.
Leganés equalized through Bryan Gil in the discounts of the first part and Marco Asensio restored the advantage for Madrid at 52.
Roger Assalé leveled again with a shot from close range at 78, but the hosts could not get the goal of salvation despite having good chances in agony.
They claimed a penalty for a hand inside the area, but the VAR ruled to continue playing.
The positions of the Champions were defined in advance, secured by Madrid, Barcelona, Atlético and Sevilla.
Cádiz and Huesca will advance to first the next season.
We have the most important thing to return … Really, THANK YOU hobby ???? pic.twitter.com/kSLXhrH9nY
