The stat which reflects well on the front three

Barcelona are top of La Liga with the same number of points as Real Madrid and one more than Atletico Madrid and Sevilla. Barcelona, like the rest, have struggled to get going this term. 

Luis Suarez admitted in an interview that the team had needlessly dropped points this season, more so than any other time. That said, they are all competing well in La Liga. 

Regarding their numbers, strikers need goals and their teams too. The front three of Leo Messi, Luis Suarez and Antoine Griezmann are doing well in this department. 

They have netted 18 times between them in the league. Eight for Messi, Suarez six times and Griezmann four. Only five teams in the division have scored more than these three put together. 

Villarreal have scored 26 times, Madrid 25, Real Sociedad 21 and Valencia and Granada 19. That is for all the players in their squad so the Barca trio are not doing too badly.

The problem is too much is spoken about Griezmann, who is being criticised for not scoring enough goals and for focussing too much on defending. 

The stat is even better when we see that Atletico have netted just 15 times and Sevilla 17, less than what Messi, Suarez and Griezmann have done.
