La Liga returns this weekend, with Real Madrid's match with Villarreal and Atlético Madrid's short trip to Alavés among the top matches on the schedule.
As teams jostle for position at the top of the table, individual players are also chasing the Pichichi, the trophy awarded each season to the top scorer in Spain.
Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe has won the past two and already is off to a strong start, though everyone is chasing Barcelona's Raphinha at the moment.
