Valencia CF defender Mouctar Diakhaby tops the club’s ranking for effectiveness in aerial duels. The Guinean centre-back has won every single one he has contested.

This is reflected in the latest LALIGA BEYOND STATS report - a section specialised in the statistical analysis of players and clubs in Spain’s top competition. Additionally, another highlight is that he is also the player who delivers the most long passes - over 30 metres - per match (4.3) and has the highest success rate.

The ‘top 6’ of the club’s ranking is as follows: Diakhaby (1st place with 100% success), Copete (2nd place with 66.7%), Tárrega (3rd place with 62.5%), Jesús Vázquez (4th place with 60%), Hugo Duro (5th place with 42.9%), and Pepelu (6th place with 33.3%).
