Live on January 5, 2019 La Liga is halfway through the schedule, so let's take a look back at some of the highlights of the season so far, as well as some teams and individuals' rankings.
A number of clubs have performed as outstanding leaders real Madrid
Real Madrid are currently the best performing team, scoring 46 points in their first 19 league rounds and locking up the half-time title with seven consecutive wins from October to December. Carlo Ancelotti has won league titles in England, Italy, France and Germany before, and now only La Liga has yet to conquer, but this season he has a good chance of completing the Grand Slams of the five leagues.
Pride of the Seville region
Sevilla and Real Betis, two teams from the Sevilla region, also had excellent performances in the first half of the season, and they are currently in second and third place in the table respectively. The team's outstanding performance is inseparable from the tuning of managers Julen Lopetegui and Manuel Pellegrini, both of whom want to lead the team to qualify for the Champions League next year, which have never reached the top four at the end of the league at the same time, and this season they have a great chance of making history.
Rayo Vallecano set the best home record in Europe
The biggest dark horse of the season is undoubtedly Vallecano. The promoted team, which was seen as a weak team before the season, has been at the top of the table for most of the season, thanks in large part to their impressive home record. They have scored 25 points in nine home games so far, with only Paris Saint-Germain matching the record in the five major leagues.
Several players are in excellent form, Andromeda is expected to win the first Golden Boot
Karim Benzema is Real Madrid's undisputed leader this season and is currently at the top of the top scorers list with 15 goals. Although he has won almost all the honours in his 12 years in Spain, he has yet to win the La Liga Golden Boot, which he has a very good chance of winning for the first time this season.
Bunu competes for the Zamora Prize
The Zamora Award is awarded each season to the goalkeeper who conceded the fewest goals per game. So far this season, Sevilla goalkeeper Bono has conceded just 10 goals in 17 games, leading the way with an average of 0.59 goals conceded per game. The Moroccan is hoping to take the trophy from five-time winner Jan Oblak, who just won the award last season.
The two players have made great progress
Some players have made great strides in the 2021/22 season, taking on more important roles in the team. One of them is Vinícius, the Brazilian youngster who has become an indispensable key figure in Real Madrid's striker this season. He has scored 10 goals this season, more than he has scored in his previous three seasons combined. The other is Real Betis striker Juanmi, who won December's Player of the Year and finished second in La Liga top scorers with 11 goals.
Best goal
The Villarreal team worked well together
La Liga has produced many fantastic goals so far, with Villarreal scoring the most prominent in his first goal in the 5-2 win over Alaves by Gerard Moreno. The striker finished with teammate Dani Parejo in the crowd and fired a shot from the end of the penalty spot. The goal not only showed Moreno's superb shooting skills, but also showed the tacit teamwork of the yellow submarine.
Griezmann made a long run to break the goal
Antoine Griezmann has improved his form after returning to Atletico Madrid, where he has been involved in many goals scored by the team. The Frenchman scored a brilliant goal against Valencia – he broke the ball near midfield and ran long distance into the penalty area to kick himself up and shoot the ball into the dead corner of the goal.
Vinicius scored six points
Another impressive goal was scored by Vinicius, who scored against Real Madrid against Sevilla in November. The Brazilian helped Real Madrid rewrite the score at 2-1 in the final minutes and won the title-winning rival to win the six-point game.
