MF - Antoñito - Real Valladolid

It has truly been an overall team effort for Real Valladolid, sitting sixth in the table following four consecutive league wins. Against Real Betis, it was Antoñito who shined in the midfield.

His passes were accurate throughout the 90 minutes and his first-half goal ended up being the winner for the club on Sunday night.

MF - Ivan Rakitić - FC Barcelona

There was a bit of a cloud over Barcelona’s win on Saturday, due to Lionel Messi’s injury. Ivan Rakitić was a consistent presence against Sevilla, and his efforts helped to bring all three points.

The Croatian international controlled the pace of the game, and netted the team’s fourth goal late in the match.

MF - Daniel Parejo - Valencia CF

Valencia should’ve taken more from their match against Leganés. Team captain Daniel Parejo was the reason they at least earned a point.

The midfielder recorded an assist and was a constant threat delivering corner-kicks into the penalty area for Los Che (nine).
