Inigo Martinez (33), who plays a key role in Barcelona's defense this season, is overwhelming not only in performance but also in figures.
British media "Tribuna" reported on the 4th (Korea time) that "Martinez is showing off his overwhelming defense in the 2024-25 season. He has achieved six clean sheets in 23 league matches. This is also evident in the figures, and the most important ground-contending success rate for defenders has achieved 74.2% (based on more than 60 contests) in La Liga overall."
Martinez, who played for Real Sociedad and Athletic Clube, is 182 centimeters tall and not outstanding in physicality, but he has the best ball handling skills as a Spanish player. Based on his unique left foot kick ability, he has excellent build-up ability to deploy short passes from the back.
In addition, he effectively covers his physical weaknesses with excellent judgment and shows strength in the right to provide even though he is relatively short based on his excellent jumping power.
And at the relatively late age of 31 in the summer of 2023, he made a surprise move to Barcelona. After the end of the 2022-23 season, his contract with Athletic Clube ended and he became an FA, and Barcelona, which had been struggling to recruit players due to financial burden, signed him.
At the time of recruitment, he was expected to take on the backup role of Ronald Araujo and Andreas Christensen as veteran defenders, but Martinez had more time as the main player due to frequent injuries to the two players.
Despite his hamstring injury during the season, he played a total of 25 games to keep Barcelona's defense solid.

Barcelona, which is reluctant to sign a long-term contract with a veteran, also renewed its contract with Martinez until the summer of 2026 as the player showed strong performance even at the age of 33.
