So, today I’m diving into something that’s been on my mind for a while: the 16/17 La Liga season. Man, what a season that was! I remember it like it was yesterday. I started by collecting all the data I could find. Scouring through old match reports, player stats, and team performances. You wouldn’t believe the rabbit holes I went down just trying to get my hands on accurate information.

Once I had a decent amount of data, I started putting it all together. First, I wanted to see the big picture, you know? So, I made a table of the final standings. Just seeing the names of Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico, and all the rest lined up like that gave me a rush.
- Real Madrid
- Barcelona
- Atletico Madrid
- Sevilla
- Villarreal
Then, I got into the nitty-gritty. Who scored the most goals? Who got the most assists? I spent hours, I kid you not, hours, building out these massive spreadsheets. It felt like I was building a digital monument to that season.
The Goal Scorers
Remember Messi just tearing it up? I created a list of the top scorers. Seeing Messi at the top, with a crazy number of goals, just confirmed what we all witnessed. The guy was a machine!
The Playmakers
But it wasn’t just about the goals. I also wanted to highlight the players setting up those goals. So, I put together a list of the top assist providers. It was cool to see the names of some of the less-talked-about players popping up there. Those were the guys who were really pulling the strings behind the scenes, you know?
Then I start charting the goal progression throughout the season. How did the goals flow? How did the game go? I created several interactive charts. Seeing the top teams’ scores rise and fall with each match was fascinating.

Finally, I put all of this into a detailed report. It was pretty long, but it was a complete picture of the 16/17 La Liga season. All the highs, the lows, the drama—it was all there. And let me tell you, going through it all again brought back so many memories. It felt like I was reliving that amazing season all over again. It was a ton of work, but totally worth it!
