Summary

Alejandro Grimaldo has already shown a striking ability to carry the ball past opponents this season, a trait that sets him apart from his peers in La Liga. In his first appearance of the 2026/27 campaign he logged 90 minutes, recorded one shot that hit the target, and completed two successful dribbles per 90 minutes - a figure that more than doubles the league average of 0.36. While he has yet to score or provide an assist, his defensive contributions are notable: five tackles and three interceptions in a single match, compared to the baseline of 1.65 tackles per 90. Grimaldo’s overall match rating of 6.7 reflects his solid performance, and his conversion rate remains at 0% as he has yet to finish a goal. This season so far highlights his exceptional ball-carrying ability relative to other defenders.

Alejandro Grimaldo has played 180 minutes across 2 appearances in La Liga, at 0.00 goals per 90 against a positional baseline of 0.06, converting 0% of 2 shots and averaging 6.50 a match.

Per-player totals for 2026/27 from API-Football match stats, across 21 players. Click any column to sort. Goals/shot is conversion - goals divided by shots taken. Rating is API-Football's own 0-10 composite for each appearance, averaged here; it is their proprietary score, so treat it as a summary rather than an input. A blank from the provider means the player recorded none of that event, so it counts as zero. Form is 0-10: each appearance is scored as a per-90 composite of the stats that matter for that position, then the last 5 are compared with the player's own season baseline. 5 is their normal, green a hot run, red a cold one – it measures a player against themselves, not against the squad. Under 6 appearances shows a dash rather than a number off too small a sample.
