Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atlético are setting the pace in this season's title race each thanks to goals from their three main strikers.

Their accuracy in front of goal will be the key to winning a title race that still includes the more goal-shy Sevilla and Valencia.

Real Madrid's trio of Cristiano, Benzema and Bale are La Liga's most balanced strikeforce (49 goals), with all three players on more than a dozen goals each.

With the Portuguese serving a two-match ban, Benzema (11 goals) has stepped up to lead the team, both in terms of their game and their goals. The Frenchman has found the net three times in Real's last two games, whilst the jury is still out on Gareth Bale (10) with fans alleging a certain selfishness in front of goal (two goals in five league games in 2015).

Barça have improved their game and their goalscoring stats. Messi (22) and Neymar (15) have scored almost 65% of Luis Enrique's side's league goals.

Both Barça manager and the Camp Nou faithful are waiting for Luis Suárez - with only two goals to his name - to rediscover his eye for goal and join the in-form Argentine and Brazilian.

Atleti also have two in-form strikers in their ranks. With Fernando Torres yet to open his account in the league (3 goals in the Spanish Cup), Antoine Griezmann (10) and Mario Mandzukic (10) have scored 46% of Simeone's side's goals in La Liga.
