Barcelona's goalscoring duo led the league leaders to a comfortable win, while CR7 finally scored his 1st La Liga brace this year.

Matchday 20 in La Liga took place during the weekend, leaving all sorts of fun facts and stats to analyze.

First off, Barcelona's wonderful season has amazed the world, especially with the scintillating form shown by Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez. The South American duo tops the league's goalscoring department, and their stats in front of goal are far better than those displayed by the rest of La Liga's teams.

"They're on fire!"

¡Están enchufados!

Before Barcelona destroyed Betis' defense, Real Madrid hammered Deportivo with a 7-1 come-from-behind display. During that game, Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Nacho netted a brace each, but it was the Portuguese ace who made headlines, as he had to walk off the pitch due to a nasty cut. His reaction was even more priceless, as he couldn't wait to get to the locker room to check his wound.

Returning to Barcelona's impressive form, this week's win saw Los Blaugranas reach their 27th straight game without a loss in La Liga, and fans will be waiting for the team to make history i they can go five more games without a loss.
