10) Karim Benzema (Real Madrid)
One of the most lethal strikers in the world in recent years, Karim Benzema remains a star player for Real Madrid despite numerous links to other strikers or possible exits for the Frenchman.
With the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and now new-boys James Rodriguez and Toni Kroos providing the ammunition, the 26-year-old should continue to find the back of the net with great frequency next season.
9) Andres Iniesta (Barcelona)
Quite simply, one of the great creative midfield players of his generation. Although his midfield partner Xavi looks slightly past his best, Andres Iniesta remains one of the finest in the world and will be hoping he and Barcelona can get back to top form next season after a highly disappointing trophyless campaign in 2013/14.
8) Koke (Atletico Madrid)
The only non Real Madrid or Barcelona player to make this list, Atletico Madrid playmaker Koke looks like one of the few star players not to be evacuating the Spanish champions this summer, as he signed a new five-year contract in June.
Seven goals and 15 assists from the 22-year-old last season helped Diego Simeone’s side to the La Liga title and to the Champions League final.
7) Angel Di Maria (Real Madrid)
With 17 assists last season, no player set up more goals in Europe’s top five leagues than Real Madrid winger Angel Di Maria.
There is some speculation that the Argentine star could be on his way out of the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu this summer in spite of his excellent displays, but for now he remains one of the top performers in the Spanish top flight.
6) Neymar (Barcelona)
After arriving with great expectation from Brazilian club Santos last summer, Neymar has had a decent first season with Barcelona and should provide more magic in the years to come.
Undoubtedly one of the best young players in the world, the exciting forward will benefit from playing alongside the likes of Lionel Messi and new signing Luis Suarez as he looks to join them as among the elite in the game today.
5) James Rodriguez (Real Madrid)
Signed by Real Madrid this week, the Spanish giants look to have got hold of a real gem here with the purchase of Colombian winger James Rodriguez from AS Monaco.
The 23-year-old had a superb 2014 World Cup for his country, finishing as the top scorer with six goals, including a beautiful volley against Uruguay that was voted goal of the tournament.
4) Gareth Bale (Real Madrid)
The most expensive player of all time after his £85m move from Tottenham Hotspur to Real Madrid last summer, Gareth Bale has continued his world class displays in La Liga, forming a fine partnership with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema.
With 22 goals and 16 assists in all competitions 2013/14 had a decent return, and he should do even better next time around after a year to settle in at the Bernabeu.
3) Luis Suarez (Barcelona)
The best player in the Premier League last season is now surely among the top stars of La Liga for next year.
Luis Suarez was sensational in his final season for Liverpool, scoring 31 goals in 33 league games to almost single-handedly win the Reds the Premier League title.
The Uruguayan will now form an exciting new-look attack at the Nou Camp once he returns from suspension in late October.
2) Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid)
A player who has done remarkably well to look like a bargain at the astonishing price of £80m, Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo is arguably just ahead of Lionel Messi as the best player in the world on recent form.
The Portuguese goal machine has been superb since his move to the Bernabeu in 2009, and tasted Champions League glory for the second time in his career last season with a goal in the final against rivals Atletico.
1) Lionel Messi (Barcelona)
An absolute phenomenon, Lionel Messi sill deserves to be regarded as the best player in La Liga, and surely the world.
The Argentine has been slightly held back by injuries in recent times, but his incredible natural ability make him one of the best-ever players to watch, and his superb statistics in front of goal speak for themselves.
