LA LIGA STATISTICS 2009/2010: The season in numbers

Now that the season has drawn to a close, it's time to churn out a few interesting LA LIGA STATISTICS from 2009/2010. Some won't come as a surprise with most serving only to highlight Barcelona and Real Madrids dominance, although a couple might just raise a few eyebrows. Before heading down the page, try to guess who the leagues most lethal marksman is. Messi? Cristiano Ronaldo? Luis Fabiano? Or an unwanted Argentine? We then run through the clean sheets and assist kings before a purely statistical look at the opening skirmish between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. No doubts about who rattled off the better numbers this time round. To finish off we analyse just how costly the year has been for old Uncle Florentino over at Bank Bernabeu. He might have to downgrade the yacht at this rate.
