Leonardo Balerdi (CB)

Olympique Marseille (Ligue 1)

Olympique Marseille finished the season drunk. No, seriously, this game was bonkers. They drew 1-1 at FC Metz on May 23rd with both goals coming from penalty kicks, which okay, could be normal. Except it was the 90’+7 and the 90’+14!!

Leonardo Balerdi played the full 90, drew two fouls, and committed one.

Balerdi finishes the season with two goals, one assist, six yellow cards, and one red card in 21 appearances (19 starts) in Ligue 1. He had 13 shots (four on target) with seven shot-creating actions (0 goal-creating actions), along with a 31:27 fouls committed to fouls drawn ratio.

Marseille finished fifth and will play in the UEFA Europa League next season. They have 60 points (16W-12D-10L) with a +7 goal differential (54:47).

As the relegation games count as Bundesliga stats, Wolf will finish with two goals, three assists, and four yellow cards in 33 Bundesliga appearances (31 starts). He had 45 shots (11 on target) and 59 shot-creating actions (8 goal-creating). Wolf’s fouls committed to drawn ratio is 31:57.
