Leading up to the World Cup in South Africa, Lionel Messi scored 34 goals in 35 games for Barcelona in LaLiga.

Barca would win the title that year, with Messi scoring hat-tricks vs. CD Tenerife, Valencia and Real Zaragoza.

At the 2010 World Cup, Messi's Argentina would go out in the quarter-finals to Germany. However, Messi did still win the Ballon d'Or that year.

15. Lionel Messi — LaLiga, 2017-18 — 34 goals

Another campaign for Messi ahead of a World Cup, Messi scored 34 goals in 36 matches for Barcelona as they won LaLiga again.
