Can you name the top 20 pass masters across Europe’s five major leagues in 2023-24?

Top-level football is increasingly built around those special players who can run a game, recycling possession by racking up thousands of passes with startlingly consistent accuracy. The likes of Arsenal, Manchester City, Real Madrid and Barcelona all possess at least one such player.

Here’s one for the proper football data nerds – how many of those pass masters can you identify? Using numbers from FBref, we’ve compiled the 20 players that have completed the most passes across Europe’s five big leagues – Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1 and Bundesliga – and your task is to name each and every one of them.

You’ve got 15 minutes to do so, and because we’re kind we’ve given you the club each player represents. They’re listed in order of their total number of passes completed, with the club as your only clue.
