Top 5 attackers in the La Liga right now

#1. Lionel Messi

The Argentine has been a huge influence in front of goal in the La Liga this term

This is the name that every Barcelona fan will be craving to see on the list. A highly talented superstar with unmatchable technical skills and unparalleled goalscoring knack, Argentine maestro, Lionel Messi remains the most prolific attacker in the La Liga right now.

The attacker finished as the top scorer in the division during the previous term with a brilliant 34 goals and 12 assists to his name and he has also started the new campaign in an electrifying form, finding the back of the net a whopping 9 times as well as setting up another 5 in just 10 appearances so far.

The Argentine was recently awarded the Pichichi trophy to honor his incredible exploits in front of goal last term and he will be keen to defend the award this season especially when his eternal rival Cristiano Ronaldo has left the division.
