It has cost blood, sweat, and tears, but Barça has defeated Leganés and managed to secure the three points in Butarque. This victory, key to staying at the top of LaLiga and being able to open a gap with the second place, has been greatly celebrated by the culers. After the match, Jorge D'Alessandro, a collaborator of El Chiringuito, spoke and surprised with his words.
Jorge D'Alessandro chooses the best of Barça in Leganés
While LaLiga has selected the Polish goalkeeper Szczesny as the best of the match... Jorge D'Alessandro goes another way and is clear about his choice. The Argentine has chosen Íñigo Martínez as his particular "MVP," highlighting his "masterful performance" to secure the victory against Leganés.
In this regard, D'Alessandro has indicated that Íñigo Martínez handles "data of a superior level," being "key to winning" against Leganés.
Íñigo Martínez: The silent leader of Barça
The truth is that Jorge D'Alessandro is not wrong with his choice, as Íñigo Martínez is absolutely essential in this Barcelona. He is a key piece in Hansi Flick's plans, bringing experience and character to a very young team.
Íñigo Martínez is the leader in the shadows. He is a captain without an armband, whom the entire locker room admires and listens to when he raises his voice.
The Basque offers unmatched commitment and a winning mentality, being absolutely key to Barça's fight for all titles. He arrived with doubts to the Catalan team, but since Flick's arrival, he has dispelled them all. No one doubts him, he is an undisputed starter alongside Pau Cubarsí in the center of the defense, and he is already among the best central defenders on the planet.
After being key to defeating Leganés, it seems that Íñigo Martínez will stay on the bench in Dortmund. With a 4-0 lead going to Germany, Hansi Flick will choose to give him a rest... Especially so he doesn't see a hypothetical yellow card that would make him miss the first leg of the Champions League semifinals.
In any case, no one doubts Íñigo Martínez in this Barça. He is the best in his position. He had a key steal in the last minutes against Leganés, and that earned him Jorge D'Alessandro's MVP.
