We take a look at how the Spanish top flight domestic league competition would have ended without the impact of 96 goals from the duo.
Real Madrid were crowned Spanish champions with a record 100 points and an enviable 32 league wins to go with. The Capital club were ushered on their way to domestic honours with the 46 goals from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629, who improved on his feats of the corresponding
year to earn the winners’ medal.
On the other hand, Barcelona had http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 to thank for their 2nd place in Primera Division standings at the end of the 2011/12 campaign. El Pulga scored an amazing 73 goals during the course of the campaign, with 50 of them coming in La Liga.
The amazing goal scoring feats of the two best players in the world brings an interesting question to the mind that is what would have been the shape of league positions if the goals of the duo are completely eradicated from the records.
Results of the findings are astounding to say the least. Without the excellent service of Ronaldo, Real Madrid would have managed to end up league champions akin to the results in Scottish Premier League, thanks to the efforts of Gonzalo Higuain and Karim
Benzema.
However, the same cannot be said about http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 following closely in third place further
6 points adrift of the Catalan club.
Interestingly, if only Messi is excluded from the question, Barca would have been 32 points adrift of the pace set by Real Madrid. On the other hand, in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 for the fourth successive time
with a lead of 9 points.
Furthermore, Mourinho’s record of winning La Liga with victories in 32 domestic outings would seriously come under threat without his compatriot’s efforts. In such a scenario, Real Madrid could only count 25 wins and a total of 83 points to boast off.
