Introducing our

LALIGA

team of the season

...SO FAR

Ter Stegen's back to his best and has been a match-winner for Barça. He’s let in just seven goals in 19 games. That's seriously impressive.

TER STEGEN

(Barcelona - Goalkeeper)

Gayà has stayed at his boyhood club and, without him, Valencia would be in an even worse position. He’s scored one and set up two.

GAYÁ

(Valencia - Defender)

Rayo are seventh at the halfway stage, thanks in no small part to a well-drilled defence that’s superbly marshalled by centre-back Catena.

CATENA

(Rayo Vallecano - Defender)

Whether playing at right-back or centre-back, Koundé has slotted seamlessly into the Barcelona backline. He always performs.

KOUNDÉ

(Barcelona - Defender)

Vinícius isn’t in top form right now, but was Real Madrid’s best player earlier in the season. He has six goals and three assists in LaLiga.

VINÍCIUS JR

(Real Madrid - Midfielder)

Méndez, who has seven goals and three assists, pulls the strings in the Real Sociedad attack. The Basques sit third, and he has been key.

BRAIS MÉNDEZ

(Real Sociedad - Midfielder)

Girona’s midfield magician, García has been this season’s revelation. He has set up four goals, and plays almost three key passes per game.

ALEIX GARCÍA

(Girona - Midfielder)

Often operating in a new, deeper role, Griezmann has been Atlético’s stand-out performer this season. He has six goals and six assists.

GRIEZMANN

(Atlético - Midfielder)

Nine goals and three assists so far. Aspas continues to write his name into Celta’s history books, and has hauled them out of the drop zone.

IAGO ASPAS

(Celta Vigo - Midfielder)

Joselu’s 11 goals have lifted Espanyol out of the bottom three. He’s the top Spanish scorer in LaLiga, and second overall.

JOSELU

(Espanyol - Striker)

Lewandowski is LaLiga’s leading marksman with 13, despite missing three games through suspension. He’s earned Barça countless points.

LEWANDOWSKI

(Barcelona - Striker)
