Top 5 most valuable attackers in the La Liga 2025-26
Lamine Yamal (Barcelona)
The day he made his debut for FC Barcelona, Lamine Yamal was surely going to be the star of the club. He is just 18 years old and is one of the best players in the world right now. This year will be more special for Lamine Yamal as he has got the iconic number 10 of Legendary Lionel Messi.
The last season was surely the best season of Lamine, and he has not entered his prime yet. He will surely be in the top five for the Ballon d’Or 2025. Lamine Yamal is the most valuable footballer in the world right now. He will have to be at his best this season and has surely become a fan favourite.
Kylian Mbappe (Real Madrid)
The team did not play the way the fans expected, but Kylian Mbappe has surely impressed in his first season. Kylian Mbappe won the European Boot in his first season for his dream club, Real Madrid. He will also be playing with the number 10 on his back and is surely the main man for Xabi Alonso in this Real Madrid team.
Mbappe prefers to play on the left but is given a central role. He also won the Pichichi Trophy in the 2024/25 La Liga season. Mbappe has got pace, and it is tough to stop him when he is on the run.
Vinicius Junior (Real Madrid)
There were a lot of questions about the form of Vinicius Junior as he struggled a lot after whatever happened in the Ballon d’Or chaos. This is really not the Vinicius Junior that fans have seen, but whatever is done is done. This is the season when Vinicius shuts all the haters and shows what he is all about.
He surely was the best player for Real Madrid in the previous years and stepped up when Karim Benzema left. Vinicius Junior is the kind of player who keeps an identity of what a winger is. He is unstoppable in one-on-one situations.
Julian Alvarez (Atletico Madrid)
Last summer, Julian Alvarez joined Atletico Madrid from Manchester City as he wanted regular game time. It took him a month from his debut to score the first goal for Atletico Madrid, but he hasn’t stopped from then on. Julian Alvarez is a hard worker, as he presses a lot, and he is smart with his movement.
The goal against Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League in the previous edition was just beautiful. This season, Atletico Madrid has signed great players. Julian will be the most important player for his team and needs to step up for Atletico Madrid to win titles.
Raphinha (Barcelona)
From almost leaving Barcelona last season, to being their best players and to most probably be in the top three of the Ballon d’Or this season, Raphinha’s journey has been just impressive. Hansi Flick has surely changed Raphinha in just one year, and now he is a totally different player.
Barcelona missed out on a well-deserved Champions League last season, and Raphinha now has a job to do. He is a remarkable winger with great pace and dribbling. Raphinha played out of position for Lamine to fit in, and what a season both have had.
