6 contenders for La Liga Player of the year ranked

#5 Toni Kroos

Toni Kroos celebrates

So here is the raw data; Toni Kroos in his 27 appearances in the La Liga with Real Madrid this season, has assisted 12 goals (from central midfield mind you), has scored two himself, completes close to 93% of his passes and has been dispossessed only thirteen times this whole League campaign.

That in itself makes for a very pretty reading; add to that his ability to control the tempo of the game and his understanding with Luka Modric and there you have the perfect recipe for a successful team. No wonder Zinedine Zidane has a soft spot for the German.
