There are lots of of soccer superstars playing in Spain’s top division, and it is with good reason that it is regarded as the number one domestic league in the whole world. Listed below are the players who are widely regarded as being the best in Spain…

Kaka : Brazilian midfield maestro Kaka, is a creative genius. Able to thread a pass through the eye of a needle, or dribble past players to create a chance or score a goal, Kaka was the jewel of the AC Milan team and helped drive them to “Champions League” glory in 2007. Now one of the jewels in Real Madrid’s crown, he aims to bring the La Liga title back to the Bernabau (where Real Madrid play their home games) after a few years absence.

Messi : Spearheading Barcelona’s treble winning team of 2008-09, Argentinean Lionel Messi continually dazzles Europe with his creativity and flair for goals. Still only 22, he is the current “World Player of the Year” and, if he remains injury free, he is likely to chalk up awards, goals and assists for many years to come.

Cristiano Ronaldo : Explosive power and blistering pace are what led to Ronaldo initially being signed by Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson. He started his soccer career as a winger, but soccer genius Ferguson quickly realized that Ronaldo was more suited to being playing in a central role. Ferguson’s decision was shown to be correct when Ronaldo netted over 40 premier league goals in the 2007 / 08 season. Now playing for the mighty Real Madrid, Ronaldo is hoping to make as big an impact for el Madrid as he did in the famous red shirt of Man Utd.

David Villa : Playing for Valencia, who are not one of the most glamorous teams in the league, David Villa Sanchez (to give him his full name) boasts an outstanding goals to games ratio. He was the winner of the “Golden Boot” for Spain at Euro 2008 (which means that he scored more goals at the tournament than anyone else) and is closing in on Spain’s all time international scorers record. Equally dangerous with either foot, Villa has attracted a host of top clubs, who are all eager to sign-up the prolific striker.
