#4. Diego Costa
Atletico Madrid sharpshooter, Diego Costa is one of the few superstars that could mount a serious challenge to Lionel Messi's dominance in La Liga this season. After returning to the Spanish top flight in January, the striker has gotten back to his obvious best and he will definitely make his impact felt at the Wanda Metrolipotano this term.
An aggressive player and a decent finisher, capable of bullying opposition defenders with his physical advantage and sending the ball into the back of the net, there is no doubt Costa is a strong contender for the Pichichi award this season.
With Atletico Madrid also emerging as serious candidates to win the La Liga title this term, the 29-year-old could get the opportunity to overthrow Lionel Messi and become the most dominant figure in the Spanish top flight - if he manages to inspire the Rojiblancos to win the coveted prize crown during the campaign.
