It's a fact, goals in the Liga BBVA are no respecters of international borders. This is reflected in this season's scoring charts, in which players of 34 different foreign nationalities have found the back of the net so far.
Brazil currently sits top of the rankings, with the South American country one that will always be associated with goals, jogo bonito and maximum entertainment value. The Brazilians plying their trade in the division have hit a total of 63 goals, with Neymar (20), Charles Dias (10) and Deyverson (9) leading the way.
Coming in just behind Brazil is France, on 59 goals. Karim Benzema (19), Antoine Griezmann (16) and Kevin Gameiro (13) are the most prolific Frenchmen in the league. Also taking their place on the podium is Argentina , who lie in third thanks to the predatory instincts of the likes of Lionel Messi (22) and Ever Banega (5).
