4 best-performing Spanish players in the 2022-23 season so far
Spanish players are well known for their impressive passing mastery and their national football team is also widely known for their outstanding Tiki-taka style.
Over the years, Spain have arguably been one of the most influential powerhouses in international football. They have produced some decent players like Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta, and goalkeeper Iker Casillas.
La Roja have only won the World Cup once and will be looking to win the trophy for the second time in the upcoming Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup competition.
Spain have always been blessed with an abundance of talented midfielders and attackers over the years. The 2022-23 campaign is no different as we have seen several exceptional displays from numerous Spanish players.
On that note, we will look at the four best-performing Spanish players so far this season. Without further ado, let's look at them.
#4 David De Gea (Manchester United)
Despite his omission from Spain's squad for the Qatar 2022 World Cup competition, his presence in goal has been significant for Manchester United.
De Gea has kept five clean sheets in 13 league appearances so far. Similarly, he has kept four clean sheets in six UEFA Europa League appearances this season.

The 32-year-old remains a key player for Erik ten Hag and it will be interesting to see if he can prove his doubters wrong at the end of the season.
#3 Iago Aspas (Celta Vigo)
The Spaniard has arguably been one of the most consistent strikers in La Liga over the last four years and his composure in front of goal has been exceptional.
Aspas has netted seven goals and has registered two assists in 14 league appearances so far. He is currently the joint-fourth top-scorer in La Liga this season.

#1 Borja Iglesias (Real Betis)

His omission from Spain’s World Cup squad is questionable, and this is based on the idea that he has performed better than several strikers on the list Ferran Torres and Alvaro Morata so far this season.
