The Spanish LaLiga has been one of the most competitive leagues in Europe this season, with the inconsistencies of elite clubs like Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid affording other clubs the privilege to put themselves in contention for the Spanish title.

While the open nature of the title race has made the division look very interesting to many, the goalscoring exploits of a number of superstars is another thing that has stolen the attention of football fans during the past few weeks.

LaLiga has always possessed some of the most prolific goalscorers in Europe since a very long time and the same is the case this season as fantastic offensive superstars continue to set the division ablaze with their amazing goalscoring exploits.

Having witnessed these fantastic superstars finding the back of the net consistently from the beginning of the term down to the mid-season, we decided to take a look at the top 5 goalscorers in the Spanish top flight at the moment, ranking them by the number of goals they've scored so far:

It has been another prolific LaLiga season for Sevilla striker Wissam Ben Yedder so far, following his incredible exploits in the Spanish top flight during the previous term that saw him record an amazing 9 goals to his name in 25 appearances for the Andalusians.

The Frenchman has maintained his incredible goalscoring form in the division this season, finding the back of the net an impressive 8 times in 14 games, with which he has put himself among the most prolific finishers in the LaLiga so far during the campaign.

With about 21 games still left to be played in the Spanish top flight before the end of the campaign, only time will tell how many goals he will end up scoring for the Andalusian outfit.

#4 Iago Aspas

With his incredible ability to beat opposition defenders with ease and send the ball into the back of the net, Celta de Vigo forward, Iago Aspas has been able to establish himself as one of the finest attackers in the La Liga during the past few years.

Although he has turned 31, his performances in front of goal have only been getting stronger.

A highly talented superstar with immense pace and incredible finishing skills, Aspas has been a real nightmare to opposition defenders in the Spanish elite division and his name is well known by all soccer fans who love to watch the LaLiga.

The Spanish International is currently sitting among the elite goalscorers in the division, with an amazing 10 goals to his name in 17 appearances for the Celta so far and he will be keen to score even more as the season stretches on.

#3 Cristhian Stuani

The current LaLiga campaign has afforded many attackers the opportunity to prove themselves in front of goal, with Uruguayan superstar Cristhian Stuani being one of the few players who have come out to showcase their incredible talents during the past few weeks.

It is just the middle of the season yet the Girona striker has already shown us what he is capable of doing with the ball in the offensive third of the pitch, penetrating into decent positions and causing trouble in the opposition box in the Spanish top flight.

Cristhian Stuani has sent the ball into the back of the net an incredible 11 times in 15 LaLiga appearances so far this season, putting himself among the most prolific scorers in the division - only behind Barcelona superstars, Lionel Messi, and Luis Suarez.

#2 Luis Suarez

After falling under a little criticism due to a couple of under-par performances in his first few LaLiga games of the season, Barcelona superstar Luis Suarez has come out to remind us of his incredible brilliance once again, proving his class with series of extraordinary displays in the Spanish top flight.

The Uruguayan, who finished the division with 25 impressive goals during the previous term is back at it again, firing the Catalan giants in front of goal and stepping up at the right moments to justify his tag as one of the best strikers in the Spanish League.

Suarez has already recorded an amazing 11 goals to his name in 16 LaLiga appearances so far this season and alongside other superstars at the Nou Camp, they have managed to keep the Blaugrana flying on top of the LaLiga table as we approach the other stage of the campaign.

#1 Lionel Messi

The Argentine has been the most potent finisher in the La Liga so far during the term

There is no better goalscorer in the LaLiga at the moment than Barcelona maestro Lionel Messi, with the Argentine stepping up to prove a point to his doubters this season after he was overlooked for both of the FIFA and Ballon d'Or awards recently.

The playmaker has been quite unstoppable, combining his killer instincts and incredible artistry on the ball to torment opposition teams in the Spanish top flight - bulldozing his way through opposition defenders and making goalkeepers look totally helpless with his unparalleled finishing skills.

By virtue of his amazing 15 goals in 15 appearances in the LaLiga so far, Messi has proved to be miles ahead of any goalscorer in the Spanish top flight and with the Argentine in such an incredible form, it would take something miraculous to stop him from claiming the Pichichi trophy once again this term.
