2019/20 La Liga: Best Spanish XI

Right winger: Gerard Moreno (Villarreal)

Gerard Moreno has made a strong case to start for Spain at the Euros next year

After a disappointing campaign last season that saw Villarreal finish way below in 14th place in the La Liga, the side successfully rebuilt this season to climb back up to a creditable fifth.

An instrumental figure in Villareal's resurgence was Gerard Moreno, who got his shooting boots on again and went hell for leather. His tally of 18 goals is the best by any Spanish player in the 2019-20 La Liga, and the most behind only Lionel Messi (25) and Karim Benzema (21).

Striker: Raul Garcia (Athletic Bilbao)

Raul Garcia is 34 but is still going strong.

Quite interestingly, Athletic Bilbao scored exactly 41 goals in La Liga for the second consecutive season.

The difference this time was only in their top-scorer, with Raul Garcia taking over from Inaki Williams as the goal-scoring talisman. The ex-Atletico star netted 15 times, his best return yet, as he successfully stepped up to the plate to replace Aritz Aduriz after the latter's struggles with a hip injury.

Striker: Iago Aspas (Celta Vigo)

For the second season in a row, Iago Aspas helped Celta Vigo survive the drop in the La Liga.

Celta Vigo managed to survive by the skin of their teeth, but it would've been a long shot without Iago Aspas, who was a constant source of brilliance.

He struck 14 times, a slight depreciation from his previous tallies, but nevertheless produced some crucial, match-winning strikes that earned some vital points along the way to help Vigo avoid La Liga relegation.

Honourable mentions:

Ansu Fati (Barcelona), Joselu (Alaves), Koke (Atletico Madrid), Daniel Parejo (Valencia), Jaime Mata (Getafe) and Riqui Puig (Barcelona).
