My Take
For me, Benjamin Pavard is forever defined by that absurd thunderbolt volley against Argentina at the 2018 World Cup, one of the goals of the tournament. But reducing him to that moment misses the point: he's a genuinely versatile defender, a centre-back who can slot in at right-back without losing composure. At 186 cm he combines physical presence with a surprisingly clean technique. The Legion of Honour says everything about what that World Cup win meant to France. I admire reliable, intelligent defenders over flashy ones, and Pavard is exactly that kind of dependable craftsman worth building a back line around.
