Villarreal, no longer in the race for top spots, aims to secure individual achievements this weekend. One player standing out is Alex Baena, leading LaLiga in assists with 13, ahead of Nico Williams with 11. Baena, in his second full season with Villarreal, has become a vital player and earned a call-up to the national team.
Having missed the last game against Real Madrid, Baena returns for the final match at Osasuna. Surpassing others like Iago Aspas, Raphinha, and Savinho with 9 assists each, Baena has been crucial in setting up goals for Sorloth. The Norwegian striker, with five goals assisted by Baena, is a strong contender for LaLiga’s top scorer title.
Baena’s impressive season has not only secured his place in Villarreal’s lineup but also caught the attention for a potential spot in the Euro Cup this summer. His partnership with Sorloth has been key for Villarreal this season. In the upcoming game against Osasuna, Villarreal will look to end their season on a high note.
