The best players in La Liga according to stats

The La Liga season is heading towards its business end and it has already thrown up plenty of surprises and new performers. As always, there are also the usual consistent performers like Luis Suarez, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi who find themselves near the top for goals scored and assists.

While goal scoring and the assist leaderboard is predictably dominated by the Real Madrid and Barcelona players, the tackles leaderboard does not feature even a single player from the two Spanish giants. Without much ado, let us take a look into the top scorers, assist leaderboard, highest pass % accuracy and the tackles leaderboard of La Liga at the end of April.

Top Scorers

The La Liga is heading towards the business end with 35 matches being played already (34 in the case of Real Madrid). Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Cristiano Ronaldo are predictably the top 3 in the race for the pichichi award. 

With only a handful of games remaining, Messi seems to have sealed the pichichi award. Some surprising names in the top 10 list are Iago Aspas who is the highest scoring Spaniard with 17 goals and the impressive Gerard Moreno (Espanyol) and Sandro (Malaga).

Some huge names like Neymar, Bale and Benzema fail to make it while Atletico Madrid duo Antoine Girezmann and Kevin Gameiro have found their shooting boots and have both been extremely impressive in the last 3 months. Here are the top 10 goalscorers in La Liga:

Lionel Messi (Barcelona) – 33 goals

Luis Suarez (Barcelona) – 25 goals

Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid) – 20 goals
