La Liga: the top 10 football players after Messi's departure to PSG

La Liga will begin a season without so many stars after years of bringing together the best in the world. In this circuit there are great squads, with players that can be worth around 80 million euros, but with less prominence than Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo used to have, even so it is one of the most attractive leagues in the world and these are its main figures.

Barcelona could not keep Messi in its squad due to the economic limits of LaLiga's regulations despite having an agreement, which even included a 50 percent reduction in the Argentine's salary. Because of this, Barcelona has let go of the last great figure of its history, a player considered the best of all time. 

The main figures of La Liga

Jan Oblak

Atletico has one of the best goalkeepers in the world, Jan Oblak. The goalkeeper was key in the successes of Simeone's Atletico.

Karim Benzema

The post-Cristiano Real Madrid was left in the hands of Benzema, whose performance has multiplied both in the game and in the goal scoring facet with his 30 goals last season.

Antoine Griezmann

Barcelona will have to renew itself after being without Lionel Messi and now is the time for Antoine Griezmann, so far in the shadow of the best in the world. He will have to assume a greater role.

Luis Suarez

The La Liga champion's goals were largely the responsibility of Luis Suarez, at 34 years old, he faces the challenge of repeating his contribution for a team that needs his goals.

Alaba

The Austrian defender arrives to fill the void left by Sergio Ramos. David Alaba is the signing of the summer and faces the challenge of leading the white defense.

Pedri

The emergence of Pedri has been the most relevant this past year. At just 18 years of age, he has become a key player for Barça and the Spanish national team. We will have to see if he takes another step forward this season.

Gerard Moreno

The Villarreal striker completed a brilliant season thanks to his goals. Gerard Moreno is the reference of a team that aspires to be among the title contenders.

Marcos Llorente

Another key to Atletico's championship was Marcos Llorente, an all-rounder capable of multiplying his goalscoring contribution and being decisive. We will see if he continues to grow this season.

Eden Hazard

Injuries have hindered his performance over the past two seasons. Hazard is before the occasion to vindicate himself.  Real Madrid fans are patient but this must be Hazard's time, it's now or never.

Memphis Depay

The Dutchman is the signing that most excites a Barcelona fan in depression after the departure of Messi. Depay needs to score a lot of goals for Barça to compete for the title.
