Lisandro Martínez

Lisandro Martínez is genuinely one of my favorite defenders to watch right now, and I'll tell you why — the guy is listed at 175 cm, which is practically short for a centre-back, yet he throws himself into aerial duels and crunching tackles like he's got absolutely nothing to fear. "The Butcher" is a nickname that fits perfectly: brutal in the challenge, composed on the ball, and with a passing range that makes him look more like a sweeper from a different era. He came up through Newell's Old Boys, sharpened his game at Defensa y Justicia, established himself as one of Ajax's best before Manchester United paid serious money to bring him to the Premier League, and he's also a key piece of Argentina's World Cup-winning generation. Still only in his mid-twenties as of 2024, his ceiling feels wide open.
