Worst La Liga Players
5. Asier Illarramendi
When Real Madrid acquired a plethora of footballing young stars, Asier Illarramendi was one of them.

Fernando Torresโ downfall in European football needs no introduction, ever since he left Liverpool, Torres was unable to unleash his best. Although his spell at Atletico Madrid was not able to allow him to get back to his best.

3. Guillermo Ochoa

2. Pedro Leon
A Spanish striker who was expected to become one of the greatest offensive players for the country.

With major flop seasons with Getafe, Pedro Leon has surely lost his identity with the league getting more complex and diverse.
