FC Barcelona and impressive statistics have been cosy bedfellows for some time now, and although this season will not follow the dizzy, triple-trophy hoisting heights of the last one, 2015/16 is going to be no different.
In fact, with four games left to play—three in La Liga as well as the Copa del Rey final against Sevilla next month—the magical front three of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar have already matched their remarkable combined tally of 122 goals they scored last season.
Tonight, Lionel Messi capped off a fantastic year by lifting his 5th Ballon d’Or trophy, affirming his status as the world’s best player over the last 12 months.
This extends the record he already held for most Ballon d’Or triumphs, with no other player having won the prestigious award more than 3 times.
