LaLiga is well known across the globe for possessing some of the finest attackers in football through the years, with Barcelona legend Lionel Messi and his eternal rival Cristiano Ronaldo emerging recently from the division and establishing themselves as two of the greatest attacking talents the sport has ever witnessed.

Although the league suffered a huge loss when the Portuguese left Real Madrid for Juventus this summer, that has not stopped other offensive minded superstars from continuing to impress with their amazing records in front of goal.

Tearing opposition defenses apart, tormenting goalkeepers, and scoring fantastic goals, these incredible players have set the division ablaze with their incredible goal-scoring exploits - despite featuring in just a few matches so far.

Therefore, lets quickly take a look at 5 amazing attackers who have started the new LaLiga campaign in explosive form.

#5 Ousmane Dembele

Dembele has finally started to prove his incredible talent

Signed by Barcelona as a replacement for Brazilian winger Neymar Junior who departed the Nou Camp to complete a world-record deal to join Paris Saint-Germain during the summer of 2017, Ousmane Dembele failed to make an impact in his debut season with the LaLiga giants after suffering a couple of terrible injuries that kept him limited.

However, the former Borussia Dortmund attacker has now put his injury crisis behind him and he has entered into the new LaLiga campaign in spectacular form, running riot with his incredible dribbling skills and explosive bursts down the left flank.

From a want-away player to an indisputable figure, Dembele has become one of the most important superstars in the Barcelona squad at the moment. So far, he has recorded an amazing 2 goals to his name in just 3 appearances this season, helping La Blaugrana to earn a decent start to the campaign.

#4 Alex Gallar

The attacker has started the new campaign in brilliant form

Spanish International Alex Gallar is one of the few LaLiga attackers who have started the new campaign in electrifying form. The Huesca superstar has taken everyone by storm this term, quickly raising his game and performing at an extraordinary level that has earned him a lot of attention in the Spanish top flight.

It took Gallar only 5 minutes to open his account for the new campaign, beating Eibar goalkeeper, Marko Dmitrovic with a brilliant effort during their opening fixture. Ever since then, he has added 2 more goals to his name - raising his tally to 3 efforts in 4 appearances so far.

A decent attacker with incredible finishing skills, Gallar is currently one of the rising stars in the Spanish division at the moment. With the 26-year-old in such terrific form right now, only time will tell how long he would go on in this manner during the campaign.

#3 Gareth Bale

Bale has taken his game to a new level

Following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo this summer, Real Madrid needed to get a replacement for the attacker. While the club refused to make any marquee signing to replace the Portuguese, they have found an incredible superstar who has started filling part of the void the winger left behind in the person of Welsh International Gareth Bale.

The former Tottenham Hotspur maestro is on course to reach greater heights in his career this season, producing a couple of scintillating performances and gradually assuming the role of the main superstar at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Bale has started the new LaLiga campaign with a big bang, tormenting opposition defenses on the right flank with his incredible pace and amazing talent. He has bagged a spectacular 3 goals and 1 assist in 3 appearances in the division so far this term - and he is definitely just getting started.

#2 Karim Benzema

The Frenchman has scored in all of his LaLiga matches so far this term

It seems Real Madrid superstar Karim Benzema is on a mission to revive his career this term. The French striker failed to reach his peak in each of the past few seasons, prompting many to criticise his performances and position in the Spanish capital.

It is only a few matches into the new LaLiga campaign, and the 30-year-old has buried all talks of a gradual decline in his career. Benzema, realizing that he has to take on more goal-scoring responsibilities following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo this summer, has decided to up his game, and he has really impressed in front of goal so far.

The Frenchman has scored 4 times in just 3 LaLiga appearances this term, placing himself among the elite goalscorers in the Spanish top flight at the moment, as well as helping Los Blancos earn a brilliant start to the campaign.

#1 Lionel Messi

The Argentine has continued with his incredible dominance in the Spanish top flight

After guiding Barcelona to claim the LaLiga title convincingly last term, bagging an incredible 34 goals and 12 assists in 36 appearances during the campaign, Argentine superstar Lionel Messi has come back into the Spanish top flight once again, and it seems he has more things on his mind to achieve this time.

The Barcelona legend has been a real nightmare to opposition defenders ever since the new term began a few weeks ago, putting up a couple of brilliant performances that define his pure class and incredible talent.

Messi is currently one of the top scorers in the division at the moment, finding the back of the net on 4 occasions in just 3 appearances. He also has 2 assists to his name - making him one of the most impressive attackers in the Spanish top flight so far this season.
