La Liga Player Performance 2025/26 – Season Leaders Ranked

23rd March 2026

While the Primera Division’s title race heats up, the individual battles across La Liga have been just as compelling. Here is a full breakdown of who leads every major statistical category in 2025/26, pulled from Statz Leaders.

Goals: Lewandowski’s Heir Has Arrived

The La Liga golden boot race is being shaped by a familiar name at the top and some striking surprises below. La Liga‘s attacking stats reveal Mbappe and Lewandowski leading the charts – but the standout young name is Lamine Yamal. Barcelona’s teenage superstar leads La Liga for big chances created (19), total chances created (62), successful dribbles (109 from 208 attempts), and assists (9). He is also second for ground duels won in the entire division. Seventeen years old. Breathtaking numbers.

Kylian Mbappé leads Real Madrid’s attempted dribbles with 107 and 59 successful, while his team-mate Vinicius Junior leads the league’s fouls drawn column with 58 – a direct result of his ability to get in behind and force defenders into reckless challenges. Vinicius has also won 4 penalties, tied with Mbappé as the most in La Liga this season.

Creative Force: Arda Güler Announces Himself

Arda Güler has been a revelation at Real Madrid. The Turkish midfielder sits second for assists in La Liga with 8 – just behind Yamal’s 9 – and leads the division for big chances created (12) and through balls attempted (13). His long ball accuracy of 72.4% is also best among high-volume distributors. He has announced himself as one of the most exciting midfielders in European football. Pablo Fornals at Real Betis leads for chances created overall (63) and through balls completed (8).

Defending: Jon Aramburu Sets the Pace

Jon Aramburu at Real Sociedad leads La Liga for tackles (85), tackles + interceptions combined (120), and fouls committed (54) – the last stat a consequence of the first two. He is the most active defensive player in the division. Antonio Blanco at Deportivo Alavés leads interceptions with 42 and is also first for times dribbled past (46) – a sign of how much defensive work Alavés demand from their midfielders.

In the air, Toni Martínez at Alavés leads aerial duels won with 121, ahead of Mallorca’s Vedat Muriqi on 112. Both are target-man forwards who generate significant aerial threat for their clubs. In the clearances column, Florian Lejeune of Rayo Vallecano leads with 167 – a remarkable number for a defender at a side that spends significant time defending deep.

Passing: Pau Cubarsí – The Calm Under Pressure

Pau Cubarsí at Barcelona leads La Liga for total passes (2040) and accurate passes (1931) with a pass accuracy of 94.66% – the second-best in the division behind Carl Starfelt’s extraordinary 95.87% at Celta de Vigo. Frenkie de Jong leads long ball accuracy at 83.7% – exceptional efficiency over distance.

Discipline: Yellow Card Danger Men

Iñigo Ruiz de Galarreta of Athletic Club leads yellow cards with 11 – approaching suspension threshold territory. Federico Viñas at Real Oviedo has 4 red cards, the most in La Liga by a distance. Daley Blind at Girona leads penalties committed with 3. Use the Statz Bet Builder Tool to track player cards data for betting angles.
