Output in context · Atletico Nacional finished 3rd of 20 · an upper-table side
2.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 40 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 66.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90).
