LaLiga 2018/19 Matchweek 13: Team of the Week

Defenders

Atlético Madrid defender Lucas Hernández

RB - Rubén Peña - SD Eibar

Eibar’s tactical performance against Real Madrid was magnificent. Defenders were sharp, and Rubén Peña was excellent at full-back.

The former Leganés right-back had four tackles, and his work out wide helped to keep the visitors from finding a goal on Saturday.

CB - Ximo Navarro - Deportivo Alavés

It was an opportunity lost for Alavés on Friday night at Leganés, although it certainly was not due to Ximo Navarro on the back-line.

The centre-back made six tackles and won two aerial duels, but it was not enough in a 1-0 defeat.

CB - Lucas Hernández - Atlético Madrid

Atlético manager Diego Simeone has been dealing with several injuries this season in central defence, including Diego Godín and José Giménez. Lucas Hernández stepped into the centre-back role once again and was effective versus Barcelona.

The French international had four tackles and showcased accurate passing on the ball.

LB - Carlos Akapo - SD Huesca

It was a wild game at the Estadio El Alcoraz for Huesca versus Levante, and Carlos Akapo seemed to be everywhere on the pitch.

The 25-year-old defender recorded six tackles and won three aerial duels, along with four shots when he got forward into the attack.
