Serving up a ball is a talent like no other, and the player who is top of the leaderboard is a LaLiga man.
Villarreal star Álex Baena leads the charts across Europe’s top five leagues for the most assists since the start of last season.
Not Kevin de Bruyne, Mohamed Salah, Bruno Fernandes, Luka Modrić or others.
Baena notched assist number 17 and 18 after twice delivered an inch-perfect ball that found Ayoze Pérez on Thursday.
Only he and Chelsea star Cole Palmer have registered over 15 assists since the start of last season.
With such a talent, will Villarreal be able to hold on to him?
