Comparison of Top Centre Backs Linked With Transfers
With Manchester United much expected to sign a new Centre Back and the latest transfer talk about De Ligt, I decided to compare the defensive statistics of a few defenders in the 2018-19 UEFA Champions League to get some insight. 🔢📊 The players I've compared are De Ligt, Lindelof, Koulibaly and Toby Alderweireld. The 1st table below compares the defensive stats of all matches of the 2018-19 Champions League. The 2nd compares the defensive stats of only the Group Stage matches of the 2018-19 Champions League. ⚽ I made 2 different and separate tables as there's a considerable difference between the number of matches played in the knockout stages of the 2018-19 Champions League by the chosen players and the knockout stages matches tend to be a lot more important and tougher than the group stage matches.
