Is this the future of Spanish football? Every top signing is going to rape their defences every season?
Messi and Ronaldo were considered freaks due to their ungodly goals to games ratios but its looking as if they just got there first. Suarez is as good as Ronaldo ever was this season and he's approaching 30. Neymar looks as if he will break that barrier soon while Bale is finding his shooting boots over there as well.
With the quality of real and barca and with the lack of incentive to concede as few goals as possible in la liga (gd doesn't matter), I am not surprised at all. I found it more surprising that people rated Ronaldo as highly as they do because of his goalscoring, it was only a matter of time until there was another forward in one of the 2 teams that was given the role of the main scorer and consequently equal their goal tallies.
If I'm not mistaken there's more goals being scored in modern football too. Before, scoring 30 goals a season was an incredible achievement, now it's pretty much every top striker(s) in every league who reach that level. Soon enough when Ronaldo is gone and Messi is pushed into a more central role we will see neymar and Bale score similarly and hopefully that will demonstrate that the amount of goals that Ronaldo and Messi have been scoring was more a consequence of team play rather than showering the scorer with individual accolades for the numbers they put up.
I'm hoping that will open the eyes of football fans to focus more on watching the team game rather than having a statistical shit flinging party every time one or the other player is mentioned. It will do a lot of good for other players who probably deserve more of our respect and attention, midfielders, defenders, goalkeepers and even coaches.
