The Argentine shares the record for the most Golden Shoes with his arch-rival Cristiano Ronaldo.

However, the Spanish club cannot take all the credit for the impressive collection with Suarez picking up one of his trophies while at Liverpool in the 2013-14 season, scoring 31 goals.

Neither top the rankings this season though with Messi closest to leader Edinson Cavani (17) with 14 goals.

Suarez appears to be way off his best and has only scored seven goals in La Liga so far this season.
