The players who have been fouled the most in La Liga

The official statistics reveal some surprising facts. Far from the star studded fame associated with the forwards, several players contribute something slightly different to the game. On this occasion, we take a look at the top four players who have been fouled the most in La Liga.

Often, a foul in midfield is common, especially for La Liga's Real Valladolid who has one of the most modest squads of them all.

For this reason, Ruben Alcaraz has become very valuable for the Spanish side. The ex Almeria and Girona man is the player who has been fouled the most times in the whole of La Liga. The central midfielder has been fouled 81 times across the entire tournament. He is also a prolific midfield player, therefore he is also one of the footballers who has committed the most fouls to date, with 57.

Borja Garcia, known for his offensive style of football as well as his defensive work, is next on the list. The Girona player has been able to force 77 fouls this season so far. He is always capable of creating danger, making him one of Eusebio's key men.

After those two, Theo is next on the list, rather surprisingly. The Real Sociedad man has caused 65 fouls, perhaps due to his pacy style of football.

Lastly is Iker Muniain, who rounds up this top 4. The footballer has been fouled 60 times, while attempting to advance with an attacking style of football. Athletic Bilbao, who used to be set-piece perfectionists, haven't quite been able to make the most of such opportunities.
