Lenglet, the pillar of Atlético de Madrid
Atlético de Madrid defeated Villarreal in Liga, with a double from Griezmann and a goal and assist from Giuliano. However, the player who received all the praise was Clement Lenglet.
The Frenchman, who returned to the team after serving a one-match suspension, stood out with a 91% pass accuracy, five clearances, and eight of ten long balls. Arriving in the summer, Lenglet has proven to be an indispensable center-back for Simeone.
Atlético has won 16 of 18 matches with Lenglet on the field. The Frenchman is the 10th player in minutes (1,511’) and has attenuated the accumulation of yellow cards with which he began his career at Atlético.
