1- Savinho
Girona has the possibility of closing the year as the only leader. He comes from beating Alavés 3-0 with authority to regain the sole lead in LaLiga, despite the fact that Real Madrid had put pressure on them by winning their match. The team led by Míchel has a difficult stop when visiting Betis, but it has already shown that it is a club that is not afraid of anything. The Ukrainian Artem Dovbyk is the great figure, but Sávio’s contribution is fundamental for the revelation team.

2- Rodrygo
Real Madrid added David Alaba to its infirmary in a season of many injuries, including that of Brazilian center back Éder Militao. This also did not speed up the triumphant walk of Carlo Ancelotti’s team, which already knows that in the round of 16 of the Champions League it will face Leipzig. But his head is now set on LaLiga and he visits Alavés to try to regain leadership.

3- Baptistao
Almería has 12 defeats and five draws in the 17 days of the tournament. He has only one chance left to not end the year without knowing what it means to win and it won’t be easy at all: visit FC Barcelona. The bottom team has to start turning the tide and for that Leo Baptistão must be inspired, who brings the experience of his 31 years, but he must also contribute with goals that begin to lift a sinking team afloat.

4- Raphinha
The winger is having a discouraging season with two goals in 16 games and although he contributes to the game with his imbalance, he is not the player who knew how to shine at Leeds. Against Almería it could be his last chance to show what he is worth before the arrival of the next transfer market where he could be one of those transferred. According to the newspaper Sport, there could be a swap with Manchester United for Jadon Sancho or an offer from Saudi Arabian football.

5- Luiz Henrique
Another footballer who can play his last role is Luiz Henrique, who has been underperforming this season at Betis. He came on for a few minutes in the draw against Real Madrid on the last matchday, but his appearance in the team is plagued by enormous irregularity. At 22 years old, he has the youth to once again show coach Manuel Pellegrini what they expect from him.
