Diego Forlan To Gerard Pique: 5 Premier League Disappointments Who Shocked La Liga

1 / 6

It is not necessary that if the player is playing in a goof form for one club then that player will be safe. So here is a list of top 5 such players who were huge Premier League flops we can’t believe thrived in La Liga.

2 / 6

Diego Forlan: The Uruguayan striker's time at Man United from 2002 to 2004 was kind of meh, but he totally killed it in Spain with Villarreal and Atletico Madrid. He scored a bunch of goals, like 190 times he either scored or set them up, which is insane. And let's not forget his epic 2010 World Cup performance where he really showed the world what he's made of.

3 / 6

Iago Aspas: Aspas' disappointing time at Liverpool had him scoring a sad single goal in 15 games, but oh boy, did his move to Celta Vigo turn into a total fairytale! This guy became a freaking legend there, scoring a whopping 210 goals in 510 games. And get this, he's still kicking butt at 37 years old!

4 / 6

Alexander Sortloth: Sorloth's brief time in the Premier League with Crystal Palace was kinda meh, ya know? He only scored once in 20 games, which is definitely not what you'd call a stellar performance. But, hey, the dude bounced back big time when he went to Spain! He played his heart out for Real Sociedad and Villarreal, and ended up catching the eye of Simeone at Atletico Madrid. Go figure!

5 / 6

Alberto Moreno: Moreno's stint with Liverpool had its ups and downs, especially on the defensive end, but he really hit his groove at Villarreal. There, he snagged a Europa League win and played a solid 124 games. Then, he went on to join forces with Cesc Fabregas at Como.

6 / 6

Gerard Pique: Piqué struggled to get much playing time at Man U, but once he switched to Barcelona, he totally became a rockstar defender. He won a bunch of stuff, like the World Cup and two Euro trophies, and was part of a team that nailed down four Champions Leagues. What a change, right?
