Players to Watch

Kylian Mbappe (Real Madrid)

Despite facing some criticism during his early days in Spain, Kylian Mbappe has proven to each one of them that he is very capable of dominating the LaLiga as well. The 26-year-old French forward has scored 29 goals in 33 LaLiga games this season. Mbappe is the leading goal scorer in the league at the moment and is likely to win the Golden Boot.

Mikel Oyarzabal (Real Sociedad)

Mikel Oyarzabal scored a crucial goal in the last Spanish league fixture against Girona, which led Real Sociedad to secure three points. He has 12 goal involvements in 34 LaLiga games this season. He will be looking to step up here as they face Los Blancos next.

It is not going to be an easy contest, but the Spaniard is likely to emerge as the game changer.
