#4 Hit: Dayot Upamecano
The Arsenal target showed the world why he’s highly regarded as one of the best young centre-backs in the world today. He missed the first leg and returned for this one and it didn’t look like he’d missed a step. Up against a desperate Spurs attack, Dayot Upamecano remained calm and in control of his team’s defence.
In effect, Tottenham played with a false 9 as Dele Alli, not Lucas Moura operated through the middle. This left the Leipzig defence with the conundrum of going up to press him or sitting back, Upamecano played it by ear and judged each duel expertly.
Showing the other side of his game, the 21-year-old regularly burst forward with the ball, showing how comfortable he is playing out from the back. Throughout a rock-solid performance, the defender won 6 tackles, 1 aerial duel, made 5 clearances and completed 38 passes. If the rumours are true, Arsenal will be acquiring a potential world-class centre-back to compliment their other potentially world-class centre-back in William Saliba.
