The South American pair netted all three goals in Barcelona's 3-0 win at home to Villarreal on Sunday and may even eclipse the usual suspects in the scoring charts this term.

It's always one or the other. Ever since Cristiano Ronaldo moved to Real Madrid in 2009, it has been either the Portuguese or Barcelona rival Lionel Messi leading the scoring charts in Spain. But the duo's dominance in front of goal could be under threat this term if Neymar and Luis Suarez keep up their current form.

Ronaldo and Messi have won the Pichichi prize given to the top scorer in La Liga three times apiece over the last six seasons, with those two also the leading marksmen in all competitions by some distance between 2009-10 and 2014-15.

The Portuguese has made his usual strong start this time around as well, with 13 goals in his 14 appearances so far in 2015-16. Messi, who has been out since Sept. 26 through injury, is understandably further behind with six strikes in his nine matches.

But in the Argentine's absence, Neymar and Suarez have stepped up with the goals. Barca's other two South American forwards have now netted 20 of the side's last 23 in all competitions - as well as all 16 Liga goals since the four-time Ballon d'Or winner limped off against Las Palmas.
