Lionel Messi scored a brace for Barcelona on Saturday to take sole lead of the race for the 2016-17 Golden Shoe, albeit he is just one point ahead of Bas Dost after he added yet another goal to his tally.
Messi helped the Blaugrana to a 3-2 win over Real Sociedad a day after Dost had taken possession of the lead with his goal in Sporting CP's 3-0 win over Vitoria de Setubal.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang pulled level with Robert Lewandowski on 26 goals in the Bundesliga, while Serie A duo Edin Dzeko and Andrea Belotti are tied with one another on 25.
