The best starting XI statistically from the Spanish top tier.
La Liga may have been accused of being boring in recent years but some of the most talented footballers on the planet grace the Spanish top tier.
Current champions Barcelona are leading the way once again this season, but both Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid are close on the Catalans’ tail.
The battle for the Ballon d’Or is between Barca ace Lionel Messi and Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo for the fifth year running, with the forwards regarded as two of the best players to ever grace the game.
Spanish football may have suffered financial issues of late, with clubs such as Sevilla and Valencia struggling to make ends meet, but that hasn’t stopped sides continuously producing talent.
