Alex Balde
22-Year-Old
Barcelona
La Liga
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Balde made 32 league appearances (26 starts) and recorded four assists while helping the team keep four clean sheets in 2024/25. He matched a career high with 67 crosses and set a new mark with 26 chances created in league play, showing clear growth in his attacking output. His defensive awareness also improved steadily, confirming the qualities expected from him after a 2023/24 season hindered by injury. With more first-team experience behind him, Balde is expected to take another step in 2025/26. If he continues to develop, he could become one of the most productive full-backs in Europe and should again surpass 2,000 minutes easily.
Assists Against Atlético
Alex Balde recorded one assist along with three shots (one on target), one accurate cross, and two chances created in Tuesday's 3-1 victory over Atlético Madrid.
ANALYSIS
Balde registered his second league assist of the season with a well-placed cross from the left flank to Ferran Torres, sealing the match for Barcelona. The left back has been a staple in the Barcelona defense all season thanks to the attacking ability he brings, with 11 chances created and five accurate crosses so far. As Barcelona continue to keep clean sheets, Balde should keep benefiting from the team's defensive stability, allowing him to push forward and contribute at a high rate.
