Barcelona are now on top of the La Liga standings for the first time since November, as they trashed Real Vallecano 6-1 this afternoon.
Lionel Messi scored his 24th La Liga hatrick, surpassing close rival Cristiano Ronaldo's record in the process. He also moved to the top of the La Liga goal scoring chart. He is currently tied with Cristiano Ronaldo on the goal chart with 30 goals this season.
Real Madrid and Cristiano Ronaldo are currently experiencing an unexpected fall from grace. Real Madrid lost 1-0 to Athletic Bilbao yesterday and have been knocked off their perch by Barcelona today.Carlo Anceloti, has pointed out Ronaldo and his striking colleagues at Real Madrid as the reason for the team's ruff patch of form in recent weeks.
'I think the problem we are having at the moment is quite clear. It is
not a defensive problem, it is an offensive problem. We are not finding a
way through like we did in the games before. We’ve only scored one goal
from a penalty in two games.That is the problem we
have to fix. We lack efficiency up front.'
With just 12 games of football left to play in La Liga, it is a problem that needs to be fixed urgently. Ronaldo's loss of form has been largely attributed to a split with his girlfriend Irina Sheyk. He has only managed to score 2 goals in his last 5 La Liga games since the split was made public. Prior to that he had scored 8 goals in 5 La Liga appearances.
