Lionel Messi opened up a six-point lead in the race for the Golden Shoe on Sunday as he scored twice for Barcelona in a memorable 3-2 win over Real Madrid.
The Argentinian took his tally for the season to 31 goals in La Liga, and with Bas Dost failing to get on the scoresheet for Sporting Lisbon in their 1-1 draw with Benfica, the Barcelona man now enjoys a healthy lead.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is now clear of Robert Lewandowski in third place after scoring in Borussia Dortmund's 3-2 win over Borussia Monchengladbach.
