About these numbers

Where these numbers come from. Every figure on this page is read from API-Football (api-sports.io) for La Liga; a field it does not publish reads “—”. Per-90 rates are the total × 90 ÷ minutes.

Past seasons are the totals API-Football records for him league-wide, and a season spent outside the league leaves a gap rather than a bridged line. The club is the one the feed records for that season. A per-90 rate needs 90 minutes behind it, so a shorter season shows no rate at all. Minutes per club match is minutes over 38 for a past season.

Playing time = minutes ÷ the club's matches played, so a starter reads near 90 and a substitute reads his true share. 2026-27: 9 club matches so far. 2025-26: minutes over 38 matches for any La Liga club — the club shown is the one the feed records for that season. The trend needs 450+ minutes last season and 90+ this season.

Defensive contribution is API-Football's ball-winning count: tackles + blocks + interceptions. It does not include clearances or ball recoveries, which API-Football does not publish, so it is not the same measure as the England site's. Tackles, recoveries and clearances-blocks-interceptions are this-season counts only: the API's past-season totals carry just the composite, so no trend is available for those three.

Trend = this season's rate minus last season's (2026-27: 423 min; 2025-26: 2397 min).
