Messi's Midas touch

It's never been his main priority, but Messi keeps picking up individual awards. Between Ballon d'Ors and Golden Boots, the Rosario native has nine and he could reach double figures with his fifth Golden Boot this season. 

Although the 'Blaugrana' forward has seemed a little below his usual standards, his final sprint in La Liga coupled with Salah's mini-drought - he's more concerned with the Champions League - has Messi within touching distance of the trophy. 

It would be the second consecutive Golden Boot that he has won, and he can solidify his grip on it during upcoming games against Villarreal, Levante and Real Sociedad. 

Currently, Messi leads the way with 33 goals, which combined with La Liga's coefficient give him 66 points. Salah has 31 and the Premier League is another of Europe's top leagues, putting his points total at 62. However, Liverpool have only one game remaining this season for Salah to close the gap. 

Ciro Immobile, in third place with 29 goals and 58 points, will have an equally as difficult a job. He has two games left but has been in some discomfort in recent weeks. Immobile sits on the same score as Robert Lewandowski, who has only one game against Stuttgart left, meaning it would take an epic performance for either of them to overhaul Messi.
