5 early contenders for most assists in La Liga

The trio could lead the assists charts this season again

#1 Lionel Messi

Lionel Messi has a new hair colour, but will hope to retain his old form

It has been a tough summer for Lionel Messi. He lost his fourth final with Argentina and following that, he decided to retire from international football. Things turned from bad to worse, as he was accused in a tax fraud scandal. However, Messi still remains the best player when it comes to performing for his club.

Messi topped the assist players chart in La Liga last season with 18 assists and scored 26 goals. His supreme performances at the club still make him the best in the world. Despite being out injured for two months, Messi still ended the season with impressive statistics. Goals and assists aside, Messi is a crucial ingredient when comes to their tiki-taka game and provides an essential smooth link between the midfield and attack.

Even though he could not score as much as he did last season, his assists helped Luis Suarez lift the Golden Boot award. Being a complete team player, Messi could finish as the top assist provider in the La Liga again.
