Suarez claims Pichichi prize to end Messi-Ronaldo dominance

Luis Suarez has won the Pichichi prize for La Liga's top goalscorer in 2015-16.

The Uruguay international has finished the season on 40 goals, five ahead of Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo, who claimed the prize last season.

But with Ronaldo being replaced at half-time of Madrid's game at the Riazor, Suarez's triumph in the goal standings was secured long before he converted Neymar's unselfish pass to complete his hat-trick at Los Carmenes.
