The mere mention of the name of FC Barcelona propels a football-lover to think of beautiful attacking football. However, there is more to it, as no team can win a title with a poor defence. Barca have had some outstanding defenders in the last decade or so, and each of them has contributed immensely towards their success.

Lenglet was signed from Sevilla at the beginning of the current season, and has been able to perform really well for the Catalan giants since then. He usually prefers to stay deep and make clean tackles. He has also complemented Gerard Pique really well, and lent solidity to Barca’s defence. Lenglet has always been a supremely fit player, and his game-reading has improved considerably.

Samuel Umtiti’s injury has helped his cause and he has played in 34 matches for Barca in the ongoing season. He is also reasonably good in the air, and has been able to score a goal too. His performance has been very helpful in taking Barca to the top of the league table and the quarter final of the UEFA Champions League.
