Who had the most assists in La Liga 2023/24? Ranking the top 10 playmakers

The 2023/24 La Liga campaign witnessed a path of destruction cleared by the champions, Real Madrid. Los Blancos secured the title with four matches to spare, finishing with an imposing 95 points. Carlo Ancelotti’s men were nearly invincible, suffering only a single defeat against their neighbors, Atletico Madrid. In the high-stakes arena of El Clasico, the Santiago Bernabeu residents triumphed in both encounters against Barcelona through iconic comebacks. 

Notably, in his debut season, the expensive Jude Bellingham immediately displayed his world-class caliber. Alongside Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo Goes, he dismantled opposing defenses with ease. Usually, such attacking explosions are fueled by midfielders high up the assist rankings, but this Real Madrid iteration was different. 

A Madridista only appears at the 8th position in the list of players with the most assists in La Liga 2023/24 provided by Spbolivescore. This season was a platform for fresh creative talents to explode rather than just established veterans. Let us explore who these elite playmakers were.

Top 10 players with the most assists in La Liga 2023/24

10. Artem Dovbyk (Girona) 

The Girona striker enjoyed a fairytale season, providing 8 assists in 36 league appearances. While his 24 goals earned him the Pichichi trophy, his playmaking was equally vital for Girona’s historic third-place finish (81 points). 

This was the best statistical season of his career. Moving to the 2024/25 season, Dovbyk joined AS Roma in Italy, leaving La Liga after just 1 legendary year. 

9. Robert Lewandowski (Barcelona)

In 9th place is Robert Lewandowski. The Polish veteran remained a focal point for Barcelona, contributing 8 assists and 19 goals in 35 matches. Although Barcelona finished second in 2023/24, Lewandowski’s link-up play proved he is more than just a poacher. By the 2025/26 season, he continues to lead the line for Barcelona, maintaining his status as one of the most clinical strikers in Spanish history since arriving in 2022.

8. Toni Kroos (Real Madrid) 

A sweet farewell that Toni Kroos sent to football! In his final professional season, the German "architect" registered 8 assists in 33 games. Kroos concluded his La Liga career with 4 titles and over 300 appearances for Real Madrid. His precision passing helped Madrid secure the 2023/24 Double (La Liga and Champions League). Kroos retired at the top of his game following Euro 2024, leaving a void in the Madrid midfield that stars like Bellingham now seek to fill. 

7. Ilkay Gundogan (Barcelona) 

In his sole season at Barcelona (2023/24), he was a model of consistency, recording 9 assists in 36 matches. Despite Barca's trophyless season, Gündoğan’s leadership was praised by pundits globally. He returned to Manchester City for the 2024/25 campaign before moving to Turkey last summer. 

6. Raphinha (Barcelona) 

Raphinha claims the 6th spot. The Brazilian winger provided 9 assists in just 28 appearances, a highly efficient rate. His flair and crossing remained central to Barcelona’s attack. In 2023/24, he played 37 games across all competitions, scoring 10 goals. Currently, in the 2025/26 season, Raphinha has evolved into a captaincy figure at Barcelona, thriving under new tactical systems. 

5. Savinho (Girona)

The Brazilian was the engine of Girona’s "dramatic" wings, recording 10 assists in 37 matches. His performances earned him a high-profile move to Manchester City in the summer of 2024. 

4. Iago Aspas (Celta Vigo)

The 4th position belongs to the eternal Iago Aspas. The Celta Vigo legend provided 10 assists in 35 matches, ensuring his club stayed clear of relegation. Aspas has been the heart of Celta since 2015, amassing over 150 La Liga goals. Even at an advanced age, his vision is considered elite. 

3. Yan Couto (Girona)

The marauding right-back for Girona notched 10 assists in 34 games, often overlapping to devastating effect. His form led to his inclusion in the Brazilian national team. For the 2024/25 season, Couto moved to Borussia Dortmund in Germany, continuing his development in another top European league.

2. Nico Williams (Athletic Bilbao)

The runner-up is Nico Williams with 13 assists in 31 matches. The Athletic Bilbao winger was a nightmare for defenders, combining raw speed with improved final balls. He guided Bilbao to a Copa del Rey title in 2023/24, their first in 40 years. Despite heavy interest from Barcelona and PSG, Nico remained at Bilbao through the 2025/26 season, becoming the face of the Basque club. 

1. Álex Baena (Villarreal)

The king of assists for 2023/24 is Álex Baena. The Villarreal playmaker recorded a staggering 14 assists in 34 matches. This was a career-best for Baena, who also led Spain to Olympic Gold in 2024. His ability to find pockets of space has drawn comparisons to the great Spanish creative midfielders of the past.
