Luis Suarez laugh off the idea of players assisting Messi beat Ronaldo to La Liga's top scorer award


Messi and Ronaldo have dominated the "Pichichi" award since the 2009-10 season, with the Argentine finishing top scorer on three occasions -- including his record-setting 50 goals in 2011-12 -- and the Real Madrid star winning it twice.
The pair appear to be the only candidates for this season's award too, with Messi currently leading the Primera Division chart with 32 goals and Ronaldo -- who has scored only six goals since the turn of the year -- having scored 31. Neymar, third on the list, has scored 17.
However, Suarez laughed off a suggestion from German football magazine kicker that there was an agreement that the Barca players would provide Messi with assists to ensure he finishes ahead of Ronaldo in the "Pichichi" race.
"That's a crazy idea," the former Liverpool attacker said. "Messi told me after a few games: 'I thought that you'd score and that's why I didn't move up the pitch.' We apologise to each other when we have not passed the ball."
He added: "To be honest, attackers are selfish by nature, but when I see Messi, [Andres] Iniesta or Xavi in a better position, I pass the ball. And we don't need to talk about Neymar's class.
"Sometimes we should make use of our shared potential even more. All of us want to score goals, but in the end it does not matter for the team who scored the goal."
