Number 10:
Real Madrid: James Rodriguez (10 goals, 12 assists)
Barcelona: Lionel Messi (41 goals, 11 assists)
Again, a slightly unfair comparison due to the difference in the way the two players play, as well of course as the relative strengths of the two teams they were playing with last season. Rodriguez will undoubtedly improve at Madrid with the likes of Ronaldo and Bale around him, and is also one for the future given his age and experience at the moment. Messi’s stats are modest by his standards, but he remains one of the deadliest attacking players in the world.
