Messi has scored more in spring than in autumn part of season. Like last season: 51 goals / 37 matches vs 31/32. That's part of turning into Beast Mode.

Autumn - 24 apps 27 goals 15 assists
Spring - 31 apps 26 goals 13 assists
His perfectly weighted, whole team cutting throughball for Tello is still my favourite:
