Now the ranking is based on statistics, goals, game winning goals, first goals, etc. There is no weighting based on league in this case or level of competition. As you can see Kuwait, Yemen, and Bahrain rank extremely high. But what of La Liga, well three of the most deadly and prolific strikers David Villa, Diego Forlan and Lionel Messi are represented for both club and country. All three had stellar years and are world class finishers. Ex La Liga strikers Wesley Sneijder. Samuel Eto'o and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are also represented. Samu and El Guaje have continuously been neck and neck in the goals competition throughout their careers.

It is not easy to score goals in La Liga, but it is good to see the league well represented.
