Raúl de Tomás, the most omnipresent scorer in LaLiga

Atlético de Madrid, Alavés, Real Madrid, Cádiz, Elche, Athletic Club, Granada, Levante, Valencia, Elche, again Cádiz, Betis and Barcelona. They are the rivals, in chronological order, that have been succumbing in this League to the scoring power of Raúl de Tomáswho is completing what will probably be his best professional season, with his debut in the Spanish National Team on the way to the World Cup and with a particular top scorer to his credit.

With goals in 13 games, Raúl de Tomás is the footballer who has scored in more different games this seasonabove the 11 in which he has scored Karim Benzema (who has 17 goals with Real Madrid), the ten of Juanmi Jimenez Y Joselu Mato (with 12 goals for Betis and Alavés, respectively) or the nine of Vinicius Junior (in his 12 goals with the white team), as reflected by BeSoccer.

Ten Of those 13 games in which the parakeet striker has scored, there have been at RCDE Stadium, only three as a visitor. Some data that reflect another reality: he slips a doublet –Yes, he did five last season in the Second Division– or a hat-trick. Yes, the t wrote it down2018-19 season with Rayo Vallecano, when he finished with 14 goals, his scoring ceiling in the highest category, which is therefore only one step away with 14 days still to play.

And not 14, but 15, are the years that LaLiga had been without a footballer who had scored against Real Madrid, Atlético de Madrid and Barcelona at home in the same season. The last precedent was Diego Milito, for Real Zaragoza, in 2006-07 –in fact, he was the protagonist against the whites on the famous night of the ‘Tamudazo’–, and previously this century they had achieved it Valeri Karpin in 2003-04 with Real Sociedad and Darko Kovacevic a course before, also as ‘txuri-urdin’.

Raúl de Tomás is being more than capital for a Espanyol that without his goals would only have 16 at this point – three of them, moreover, with his assistance – and with whom has been actively involved, either scoring or giving that last pass, in 23 of the 28 pointss of the parakeet team. He has scored in the last five consecutive days who has played and this coming Sunday visits one of the seven rivals that still need to be crossed out on his extensive list this season: the Sevilla. There points the omnipresence of him.
