A friendly reminder that he was played out of position - centre back. He played against last season’s Champions League & La Liga winner away from home, and had to face the current Ballon d’Or holder. According to the rating app Fotmob, he was man of the match.
Deserved? There were many standout performers. However, Marcos Alonso didn’t put a foot wrong:
• 80% aerial duels won
• 8 headed clearances
• 10 clearances
