LaLiga Santander Matchday 17 came to its conclusion on 23 December, and now it's time to have a look at the LaLiga Fantasy MARCA Best XI from this matchday, which features players from seven different LaLiga Santander clubs.
The Player of the Matchday is none other than Lionel Messi, who scored 20 Fantasy points. The FC Barcelona legend was one of the stars of the show in El Clasico, scoring a penalty to make it 2-0 and setting up Aleix Vidal to strike in the dying moments of the game.
Athletic Club's Iago Herrerin is the chosen goalkeeper in this XI. The 29-year-old kept a clean sheet in his side's 2-0 win away at Real Betis, which was enough to score him 12 points.
Herrerin's teammate Aymeric Laporte features in this defence alongside Vitorino Antunes, Juan Cala, Guillermo Maripan and Iñigo Martinez, with the aforementioned players scoring 13, 14, 16, 15 and 17 points respectively. The midfield trio of this XI is made up of Sergi Roberto who scored 13 points and Daniel Wass who claimed 12, but the highest-ranking of the three is Takashi Inui, whose brace in Eibar's 4-1 victory over Girona FC scored him 16 Fantasy points.
The attacking duo of this XI consists of The Player of the Matchday Lionel Messi and RC Celta forward Iago Aspas, who claimed 14 points. The Galician played a vital role in Celta's 3-1 win in O Noso Derbi, scoring both a tap-in and a beauty of a free-kick.
