Two months ago we would have said this wasn't possible. In fact, we specifically remember thinking a few months ago that it wouldn't be possible, but here we are: Cristiano Ronaldo absolutely has a chance to overtake Messi for La Liga top scorer.
Despite suffering through a suspension and the worst form of his career, Ronaldo is on fire and finds himself just three goals behind Messi at the top of the Spanish goal-scoring charts (Messi also leads La Liga in assists).
Lionel Messi is still Lionel Messi and liable to go off for three/four goals in consecutive games and end this thing at any moment, but for now Ronaldo is in with a chance. This will be the most interesting thing going on in La Liga down the stretch since Barcelona have the title wrapped up with a little bow on it.
Currently Messi has the La Liga lead with 25 goals, Ronaldo has 22, Luis Suarez has 21, Antoine Griezmann has 17 and Cristhian Stuani somehow has 17. But really it's between Messi and Ronaldo, as it always has been and always will be.
