The
Uruguayan is fighting on a collective level for the double, and on an
individual level for the Pichichi, with 30 Liga BBVA goals.
The FC Barcelona
striker scored 25 goals in his first season with the club, and now, after his
four against Deportivo de la Coruna, he has 49. One less than double the number
he achieved in his first year.
He is
fighting on a collective level for the double, and on an individual level for
the Pichichi, with 30 Liga BBVA goals, to Cristiano Ronaldo's 31.
In his first
season, in which he missed the first months because of a FIFA sanction, he
scored 16 league goals in 27 games, 7 Champions League goals in 10 games, and
two Spanish Cup goals in six games.
After FC Barcelona
hammered Deportivo La Coruna, Luis Enrique praised his players and lauded a
"positive" victory which ended the Catalan side's bad run of
results.
The Asturian
coach, though, was keen to point out they'd played well against Valencia, too:
"We played a great game and were very effective, creating infinite
chances, just like we did against Valencia - and look what happened in that
game. But football can be like that, it was a spectacular result for us, against
Depor. We didn't concede any goals and won away from home."
Luis Enrique
acknowledged that his team needed the three points here, but also pointed out
there are still four finals left. "The need for a good result and win was
key for us.
The team
who is the best over 38 games will win the league, though. Not the team who is
best in game 32, 37, 35 or 31. There are four games left and it will be
difficult."
“We made sure we took our
early chances, too, and from there on, we were on a roll. Now we have a
wonderful challenge ahead of us - to retain the league title”.
