Output in context · FC Porto finished 1st of 18 · a title-challenging side
2.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 18 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
