Leonardo Balerdi
26-Year-Old
Marseille
Ligue 1
Impressive in defense
Balerdi had three tackles (one won), six clearances and three interceptions in Monday's 1-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain.
ANALYSIS
Balerdi produced a crucial recovery tackle on Goncalo Ramos during PSG's best spell in the second half and was a real leader in the area in front of Geronimo Rulli. The captain had a difficult start to the season with inconsistent performances but was brilliant against Real Madrid and confirmed his form on Monday against PSG, contributing three tackles, three interceptions and six clearances to give no chance to the Parisians to enter the box.
