While their attacking prowess led by Mbappe, Falcao and Bernardo Silva has rightly received plenty of plaudits, the man instrumental for their style of play is defensive midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko.
Standing well over 6 foot, the towering defensive midfielder’s biggest strength is his ability to break up opposition play and put in some stunning last ditch tackles. With 49 interceptions and 88% passing rate, Bakayoko has been the standout defensive midfielder not only in Ligue 1 but in Europe.
