Primera Iberdrola: The top 5 attackers of the 2020-2021 season so far

The final matchday of the 2020-2021 Primera Iberdrola season isn’t until late June, and Real Madrid fans have been watching anxiously as Las Blancas are in position to qualify for the UEFA Women’s Champions League in their first season under the official Real Madrid name.

This weekend, Las Blancas exacted revenge on Madrid CFF in the league, picking up an important three points in the race for the top three after being knocked out by their derby rivals at mid-week in the Copa de la Reina.

Real Madrid have been buoyed by a few key players this season, but has anyone distinguished themselves as one of the top five in the league? It’s not easy to, given the quality in Primera Iberdrola right now, especially in the dominant Barcelona side. But Kosovare Asllani, Marta Cardona, and Sofia Jakobsson all have great cases.

Here are the top five forwards in the league so far this season.

Barcelona RW Caroline Graham Hansen

Caroline Graham Hansen is one of the most exciting players in the world, and it seems like she is impossible to stop when she gets going on the dribble. It is, therefore, no surprise that the Barcelona forward is Primera Iberdrola’s leader in assists with 15.

There are a handful of players on La Blaugrana with more goals, including three world-class forwards with at least 15. But Graham Hansen has eight of her own despite being the primary creator for these classy forwards – some of whom, namely Jenni Hermoso, are also on the assist leaderboard.

But when you watch Graham Hansen play, you know she’s special. Defenses just cannot cope with her explosiveness, trickery, and pinpoint low crosses. It finally seems like more and more fans are realizing how brilliant she is.
