Despite Barcelona's average performance this season, Messi has been in good form, scoring 30 goals and is also the current top scorer in La Liga. If he holds onto that spot till the end of the season, he would go on to win the eight Pichichi trophy of his career.  The forward's future is undecided and he has been linked to Pep Guardiola's Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain, where he could have a potential reunion with former Barcelona teammate Neymar.
