La Liga top 5: Most chance-creating players.

La Liga top 5: Most chance-creating players.
A surprising top five where a Real Betis player leads the stats charts.

The 31-year-old Isco has rejuvenated his career after a challenging 2022 at Sevilla, where he was without a contract. Betis took the chance last summer by signing Isco on a free transfer, and he has become one of the key players in the team, leading to a contract extension until 2027. Isco operates in the attacking midfield position and is currently the most chance-creating player in La Liga.

Most chances created in La Liga 2023/24: 
◉ Isco (58)
◉ Iago Aspas (55)
◉ Ivan Rakitic (46)
◉ Ilkay Gündogan (45)
◉ Toni Kroos (36) 

If one were to identify an area for improvement for Isco this season, it would be in the assists department. He has recorded 3 assists so far, and considering the number of chances he creates, this figure could be higher. Additionally, he has contributed with 2 goals from 38 attempts, so if he sharpens his finishing, Isco could have a truly standout season.

Isco is the playmaker for Betis; he is the one dictating the offensive play. This is evident in his key passes per game, where he leads La Liga in this aspect as well.

Most key passes per game in La Liga 2023/24: 
◉ Isco (3.2)
◉ Iago Aspas (3.1)
◉ Ivan Rakitic (2.7)
◉ Ilkay Gundogan (2.4)
◉ Nico Williams (2.1) 

At the moment, Real Betis is positioned as 7th in La Liga, which is generally acceptable. However, there are ambitions to secure European football, and the aim is to finish in the top 6. Currently, they are 4 points behind Real Sociedad, and for this dream to become a reality, it is crucial for Isco to maintain his level and avoid injuries.
