Messi accelerates to catch up with Ronaldo in the Golden Shoe race
The Argentine striker started slowly, but began to breathe hot on the neck of the 2014 Ballon d'Or winner in the scoring race in La Liga.
With a terrifying scoring performance, Cristiano Ronaldo finished the first half of the season with 28 goals scored in La Liga. The Real Madrid striker is currently at the top of the list of best scorers in European national championships.

Messi is having a very impressive scoring performance at the beginning of the new year. |
He is likely to defend the Golden Boot title. Last season, CR7 shared this title with Luis Suarez (both with 31 goals).
Lionel Messi is currently second on the list with 21 goals. Although he is seven goals behind Ronaldo, Messi's performance in 2015 is more than double that of Ronaldo. In four La Liga games since 2015, Messi has scored six goals. In the same number of games, the Real striker has only scored three goals.
With the red card in the match against Cordoba, Ronaldo could be suspended for two to three matches. This is an opportunity for Messi to accelerate to catch up with Ronaldo in the upcoming race.
Third on the list is striker Yevgeni Kabayev of Kalev Club (Estonia). He scored 36 goals, but the coefficient of the Estonian championship is only one. The Premier Leagues in England, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal have a coefficient of two. The French championship has a coefficient of 1.5.
