# 7 Diego Godín (Atlético Madrid)

The Uruguayan international might be soon approaching 32 years of age, but Diego Godín has been as reliable and consistent as ever this season for Atlético Madrid.
To put his defensive capabilities in comparison to one of the finest defenders of this generation, Godín completes 2.0 interceptions per game over 90 minutes. Sergio Ramos of Real Madrid completes 2.1. Not only that, but the two La Liga defenders successfully complete the same amount of tackles per game.
What stands Godín out from other La Liga defenders is his knack of being in the right place at the right time, which is shown by his 5.1 clearances per game; an incredible number of clearances to thwart the danger away.
He might be nearing the end of his career, but the Atlético Madrid rock still has plenty to give.
