#2 Vinicius Junior (Real Madrid)

Elche CF v Real Madrid CF - LaLiga Santander

Real Madrid have done pretty well this season with the return of Carlo Ancelotti as their manager. Los Blancos are leading the race in La Liga right now and one of the primary reasons is Vinicius Junior's contributions.

The Brazilian winger has stepped up and performed amazingly well this season. His performances have been so impressive that he has been a regular starter on the left wing instead of the great and now fit Eden Hazard.

Vinicius has so far scored 13 goals and registered six assists this season, contributing in 19 goals in total. His blistering pace combined with his amazing dribbling abilities has been a delight to watch. He has successfully dribbled past a player 94 times this campaign, the most in La Liga.
