Defender wiped out PSG’s star strikers! The incredible performance is captured in a short montage!

Only 20 years old, William Saliba belongs to Arsenal London but is a guest at Olympique Marseille. He passed one of the toughest tests of the season without a problem! He eliminated the attacking stars of the Parisians and was not afraid of tackles and balancing the ball. Aliterally precise performance.

In the 11th round of Ligue One, the two great rivals Marseille and PSG clashed in the so-called Le Classique. Almost everyone expected the giant from Paris to dominate, but the home side, with the massive support of the home crowd, were more than a match for the opposition.

One of the main characters of the derby was not Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé or Neymar, but surprisingly the central defender of the home team, William Saliba.

He thwarted countless attacks by PSG stars with his positional play and defensive skills.

Before we take a look at a montage of the exemplary performance, let’s look at Saliba’s performance from a statistical point of view.

His pass success rate was almost 97%, he had 65 touches of the ball during the match, took the ball away from his opponents twice and won one header.

That seems like a normal day for a stopper, right? Well, judge for yourself! Visually, it looks a bit better.
