Ligue 1
Brillant outings in backline
Mata is having a brilliant start to the campaign with Lyon following his contract extension this summer, as the defender has contributed nine tackles and 27 clearances while helping the club secure four clean sheets in seven Ligue 1 games.
ANALYSIS
Mata has been solid in the first seven Ligue 1 games of the campaign as the main leader of the backline under coach Paulo Fonseca. The center-back has contributed well defensively with nine tackles and 27 clearances, helping Lyon make an impressive and unexpected start to the season after a turbulent summer behind the scenes that almost saw the club relegated to the second division. Mata will remain a key player for the Gones moving forward in both Ligue 1 and Europe.
