Samuel Umtiti

[gatsu]

Best defender in the world?

And by a large margin.

 

[Givenchy]

Best defender in the world?

yes! i can't think of a better defender right now.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

He is so good.

 

[Jombi]

Funny how people wanted all sorts of mad and expensive transfers and brushed off Umtiti as an unproven kid from a shit league. Best transfer we've done in god knows how many years.

Pique needs to learn a lot from him. The guy is so calm, i think he could even manage to stop a rocket from going past him the way he is defending

 

[Deco 20]

He blew hot and cold today. He had some really commanding actions but he was at fault for their goal and was really close to giving Valencia a penalty with a poor challenge.

 

[SwiftGuyver]

Colossal yet again. Currently the best CB in the world for me.

 

[Windhook]

My God, that challenge in 62nd minute of the game... absolute masterclass. Umtiti is a future Ballon d'Or.

 

[Barcaman]

MoM against Atletico
MoM against Juve
MoM against Valencia

Enough said.

Just looked up the goal because I wasn't sure what you meant by this.

Looks like he pulled back from the short post, when the pass came. Probably because he misread it and thought it would go back. It's kind of a mistake I guess, but a pretty relatable one.

The goal is not Umtiti's fault. Vermaelen was responsible for Rodrigo all the way. From the video posted above it's obvious, Thomas was caught napping inside the box.

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

No Umtiti's positioning was bad. Rodrigo had a step on Vermaelen but that is usually the case when strikers move well in the box.

 

[Devils]

Sam is everything. <3

We are blessed to have him.

 

[wisconsincule]

Still a master class. He is just as tough as Puyi. Very physical. I️ fucking love it!!!

I was curious on how a Verm-Umtiti partnership would work considering both never played together.

turns out it was pretty solid today.
