= = = Real Madrid = = = The 2019-09 Primera Divisón season was won by Real Madrid instead of Barcelona. Before the last LaLiga match day, the Barca fans rated their players’ performances. Lionel Messi is not at the top.
The Argentine superstar only ranks second in the vote held by the sports newspaper “Marca”.
Messi scored an impressive 43 direct goals (23 goals, 20 assists) in 32 league games so far, more than anyone else in the Spanish Upper House. He can also be the seventh Primera División goalscorer if Kevin Benzema fails to make up for the two-goal deficit on the final day.
Nevertheless, Messi scored 13 goals fewer than last season. The 33-year-old scored such “few” goals in the 2008-09 season. According to Marca, a reason why the superstar was not voted Barca Player of the season by the fans.
