#5 Real Madrid have scored more goals in the last ten minutes than any other team in the 2020-21 La Liga season

Real Madrid have kept it late in far too many La Liga matches this term. They seem to spring to life in the dying embers of the game and have scored 14 goals in the last ten minutes of matches this season. They've been able to get nine points by doing the same.

#4 Inaki Williams has now appeared in every single game for Athletic Bilbao in each of the last five La Liga seasons

Athletic Bilbao star Inaki Williams has shown incredible fitness levels and has now featured in every single La Liga match over the last five seasons. It also shows why he has been one of Athletic Bilbao's most important players in recent times.

#3 Jan Oblak has won the Ricardo Zamora trophy for the fifth-time

Arguably the greatest goalkeeper in the world right now, Atletico Madrid shot stopper Jan Oblak has been incredible between the sticks once again. Oblak has won Ricardo Zamora trophy for the fifth time.

The trophy is awarded to the goalkeeper who has the lowest "goals-to-games" ratio or quite simply, the goalkeeper who concedes the least number of goals.

#2 Luis Suarez has won more La Liga points for Atletico Madrid than any player in any competition this season

Atletico Madrid signed Luis Suarez from Barcelona last summer for a negligible amount of money. It seemed like a poor decision from Barcelona as Luis Suarez was still quite a prolific goalscorer. He has proven to be a great signing for Atletico Madrid.

Atletico Madrid collected 21 points thanks to Luis Suarez's last 16 goals in La Liga this season, as per Whoscored. This is the stat that will come back to haunt Barcelona as it almost feels like they gifted Atletico Madrid the La Liga title.

Out of his 21 goals, 13 have given Atletico the lead. Seven of them have been winning goals. Six of them have been opening goals. Atletico Madrid have also not lost a single game where Luis Suarez has scored.

#1 Lionel Messi is the top scorer in the La Liga for five consecutive seasons now

Lionel Messi took it upon himself to turn Barcelona's fortunes around this term. He has been in incredible form this year. After starting the season in rather underwhelming fashion, the Argentine inspired Barcelona to claw their way back into the La Liga title race as well.

Lionel Messi's future is the subject of much speculation these days but it's clear as day that Barcelona will suffer greatly in his absence. He has broken the record held by Alfredo Di Stefano and Hugo Sanchez.
