Suarez takes lead in the race for the Pichichi - the Spanish golden boot - with his second quadruple
of the week.
Scoring 4 goals as Barca demolished Deportivo La Corunna midweek 8-0, the ex-Liverpool star
smashed in another 4 goals to send Barcelona top of La Liga with a 6-0 victory over Sporting Gijon on
Sunday after both Atletico and Real Madrid had leapfrogged them in the title race with wins on
Saturday.
Suarez now leads Real Madrid super star goal machine Cristiano Ronaldo 34-31 with three games of
the season left. And Ronaldo, winner for the last two years, is currently injured. This means that
Suarez is now favourite to be the last player other than Ronaldo or Messi to win the award since
Diego Forlan in 2008-09 season.
