Output in context · Atletico Nacional finished 3rd of 20 · an upper-table side
2.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 14 clean sheets across 42 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 1 goal and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
