Output in context · Barcelona finished 1st of 20 · a title-challenging side
2.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 96/100).
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 54.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 83.5, Balde carries the 2nd-highest potential of the full-backs in the La Liga (top 12%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
