The La Liga halfway is over, and today's rankings and player performances are the same as you thought at the beginning of the season? Let's take stock of the many statistics of the half-season.
*Note: The following data is as of the 19th round, only the league data is counted
Shooter King
Perhaps as a captain's armband bonus, from the beginning of the season, Benzema showed unstoppable momentum and marched towards the first La Liga Golden Boot of his career.
In the first round, Benzema opened the new season with a second game. In 19 rounds, he scored a total of 15 goals, of which only 1 penalty, which can be described as full of gold.
The goal does not forget the beauty of adulthood, and Benzema is also second in the assists list with seven assists.
Assist King
Trejo's career has been with small teams, and this season he has had an explosion with Rayo Vallecano. With 3 goals and 8 assists in the half, it was the Argentine midfielder's personal La Liga best stats of the same period.
Native shooter king
It was the best season of Juanmi's career, with 11 goals and two assists in 19 rounds that had surpassed all previous full season stats. Betis is third and Juan Mi alone contributed 1/3 of the team's goals.
Juanmi was the most scoring Spanish scorer in La Liga in 21/22, without any penalties and second only to Benzema in the total top scorers list. He also won La Liga Player of the Month of December.
Maximum progress
The most surprising player is Vinicius. Remember that in the last three seasons, he has only scored seven goals in total. This season, he has been reborn and, together with Benzema, has become the mainstay of Real Madrid.
10 goals and 4 assists in the half, all goals for the sport, the number of dribbles ranked first in the league, and we look forward to Winnietheus's second half to bring us more surprises.
The King of Zero Seals
Bunu missed the Zamora Prize last season and he won't give his opponents another chance this season!
He made 17 clean sheets in 9 games, with a clean sheet rate of 52.9%, leading the clean sheet list, and the 79% save success rate was also the first in La Liga, worthy of his name "Yasin Bunu".
Best Newcomer
The 17-year-old Garvey, who was out of age in his first La Liga season, possessed a mature ability to read the game, fight without falling behind, and the ferocious style of the ball contrasted with the childish face.
Garvey has set new age records since his debut and has also been selected for the national team with his outstanding performances at Barca, becoming the youngest player to play in the national team.
The strongest veteran
Honest and old, can you still eat? Of course. After a period of silence at the beginning of the season, Molina has been glowing since the end of November. At the age of 39, he has contributed seven goals and two assists this season and is granada's top scorer.
Vs Cadiz, who overtook Di Stéfano to become the third-oldest goalscorer in La Liga history; vs Mallorca, who set a new record for Joaquin at 39 years and 241 days, becoming the oldest hat-tricker in the history of the five major leagues; vs Atletico, where he scored a 2-1 score that helped Granada end an embarrassing 21 consecutive winless record against Atletico.
Maximum age difference
In the third round of this season, Barca's second team player Garvey was tasked with making his debut, and at the age of 17 years and 24 days, he became the youngest player to play in La Liga this season.
In the 18th round, Joaquin came off the bench, and at the age of 40 years and 4 months and 28 days, he became the oldest player to play in La Liga this season. Joaquin will retire at the end of the season, and it is believed that he can still break this record several times before retiring.
Full Attendance King
In addition to the goalkeeper, a total of four players played all 19 games in the first half, namely Espino, Cabrera, Lenormont and Fran Garcia, all four playing as defenders.
On the goalkeeper side, Courtois (Real Madrid), Oblak (Atletico), Soria (Getafe), Duturo (Celta) and Ledesma (Cadiz) also played all 19 games.
Strongest offense
There is no doubt that Real Madrid are the best team of the season, with a wave of winning streaks at the end of the year to lock up the half-time championship early, scoring 46 points in 19 rounds and maintaining a total victory against the top seven teams.
Such achievements are naturally inseparable from strong offensive firepower, and Real Madrid have scored La Liga goals in 13 this season, scoring a total of 41 goals in 19 rounds.
Benzema and Vinicius supported half of Real Madrid, and the two combined to score 25 goals and 11 assists, a number of 25 goals that exceeded the goals scored by 12 teams. Asensio, who scored five goals, was the third top scorer in the team.
Real Madrid scored 11 goals against their top seven teams, with their biggest win of the season coming in round 6 against Mallorca, a 6-1 victory with Asensio scoring a hat-trick and Benzema scoring twice.
Best defense
Sevilla continued their solid defence last season and took it even further this season.
Conceding a total of 13 goals in 19 games, averaging just 0.68 goals per game, becoming the team with the fewest goals conceded in La Liga, and the solid backline helped them occupy the second place for a long time, five points behind the top of the table in one game.
Sevilla kept 10 clean sheets and conceded 53% of the goals. Faced the other top seven teams 3 times with 3 clean sheets and conceded 4 goals. Goalkeeper Bunu leads La Liga in the clean sheet and save success rate list.
The strongest dark horse
Rayo Vallecano became the most surprising team of the season, as promotion horses, they only finished sixth in La Liga last season, and only managed to break through by promoting the play-offs.
Such a team with relegation as the first goal has never fallen out of the European zone since the 6th round, and the highest ranking has been in fourth place.
Vallecano remained unbeaten in the first half of the nine home games, 8-1, scoring 25 points, setting a record for the best home field in the five major leagues this season, and becoming the promotion horse with the strongest home record in the top European league in the 21st century.
