Output in context · Racing Club finished 3rd of 15 · an upper-table side
4.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 15) 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 20.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 37.2, Barrios carries the 33rd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 66 — though on just 19 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
