We are just five games into the Spanish league season, so it's incredibly early, but it's hard to envision any player catching Lionel Messi in La Liga's goal-scoring race.

A goal in the first half from the penalty kick spot:
A sly little finish at the hour mark:
A lovely combination with Paulinho moments later:
And then this magical goal from the top talent:
Titles are absolutely the priority for Messi and Barcelona, and if you ask him he'd probably deny having an internal rivalry between he and Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.
