Diego Godin (Centre-back) – Atletico Madrid
A pure defender, Diego Godin has arguably been the most consistent centre-back in La Liga over the last 3 seasons. The Uruguayan has led the defensive line admirably and his presence and ability to ready play and cut out opposition attacks have proved invaluable to Diego Simeon’s side.
With 31 appearances this season, Godin has been one of the most important players for Los Rojiblancos and he along with Griezmann are the two world class players in this team. A true warrior on the pitch, The centre-back’s physical and bruising style of play has given opposition attackers plenty of sleepless nights.he along with Griezmann are the two world class players in this team. A true warrior on the pitch, The centre-back’s physical and bruising style of play has given opposition attackers plenty of sleepless nights.
Like always, Godin has remained a threat from set-pieces as well and he has managed to score 3 important goals this season. He has also had more headed shots (24) than any other defender in La Liga this season.
Quite simply put, Godin is the best defender in the Spanish league at the moment.
