Output in context · Boca Juniors finished 1st of 15 · a title-challenging side
2.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 4 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 67.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
