DIEGO ROBERTO GODÍN LEAL

Godín is one of the best center-backs in Atleti history. Whether alongside Miranda, Savić, or Giménez, Godín forms an unbeatable partnership at the heart of the defense. He also takes part in the team's attacking play, as shown by goals as decisive as the one that clinches a league title at the Camp Nou. He is commanding in interceptions, quick in covering runs, unbeatable in the air, and very skilled in one-on-one duels. He also has the technical quality to drive forward with the ball at his feet and break through opposing lines of pressure. Godín is, along with Gabi, the player who best represents the values of Simeone's Atleti.
