#1 Lionel Messi
There really was only going to be one clear winner to top this list, as Lionel Messi over the course of his career has proved to be not only one of the best players or goalscorers, but also arguably the greatest playmaker the game has ever seen.

With a whopping 169 assists from just 452 matches, the Rosario native is by far the most prolific player when it comes to assists in the history of LaLiga, while he has topped the assists charts in all but one of the last five seasons.
Messi is blessed with an excellent vision to see spaces no one else sees, while also possessing the requisite technique to pick out the most difficult of passes, and despite his immense goal threat, a constant feature of Barcelona's game is Messi dropping back into midfield to control proceedings.
