#4 Nacho Fernandez (Real Madrid)
Nacho has been at Real Madrid since 2001. Having joined them as an 11-year-old, he went on to make his senior first-team debut in 2011. Nacho is a defender by trade and is comfortable playing anywhere across the backline.
The Spaniard has been Real Madrid’s fall guy for a few years now. Whenever the team needs extra protection in defence, Nacho is the man they call upon. On numerous occasions, Nacho has filled in for Marcelo while he has also played on the right side of the defence.
The Spaniard has shown to be adept at defending while he has improved his attacking play over the years. Thus, his versatility adds another dynamic to an already talented Real Madrid squad.
Nowadays, players who are comfortable at playing across the back line are rare. Hence, Nacho not getting the credit he deserves surely baffles many. However, he need not worry as this article gives him the credit he deserves and he makes it to our list as the 4th most underrated player in the world.
