After 25 rounds of matches, only one point separates FC Barcelona, Atlético de Madrid, and Real Madrid at the top of the LaLiga EA Sports standings. The last time the title race was this tight at this stage was 32 years ago.
Each of the leading clubs has key African players who could influence the destination of the title this season.
Brahim Diaz, a Moroccan international, has been instrumental for defending champions Real Madrid, featuring in 80% of their league matches. His ability to both score and create goals makes him a vital asset as Los Blancos push for the title.
Atlético de Madrid’s Reinildo Mandava has been an essential part of Diego Simeone’s defensive structure. The Mozambican left-back is in his fourth season at the club and is chasing his first LaLiga triumph in Spain.
FC Barcelona boasts teenage sensation Lamine Yamal, who has Moroccan and Equatorial Guinean heritage. The young star leads the league in assists with 12 this season, making a significant impact on his team’s attack.
Beyond the title contenders, other African players are influencing the race. DR Congo’s Cedric Bakambu has been crucial for Real Betis, helping them climb the table with decisive performances, including an injury-time winner against RCD Mallorca.
Athletic Club’s Iñaki Williams, the second-highest African scorer in LaLiga history after Samuel Eto’o, remains a key player for his team. With 81 career goals in Spain, his contributions could be decisive as the season reaches its climax.
