Jose Gimenez is slowly climbing up the ranks as one of the best defenders in Spanish football. The 23 year old's display against Real Madrid was nothing short of remarkable as his individual brilliance helped his team claim a well-deserved point in the Madrid derby.

Playing alongside skipper Diego Godin also seems to have improved Gimenez immensely as he has grasped the qualities of defensive awareness and leadership from the veteran Uruguayan centre-back.

All of the above reflected within Gimenez in a tightly contested Madrid derby as he outshone his partner and proved to be a wall at the back for the Real Madrid attackers. The Uruguayan was focused and made multiple clearances, putting a break on Real Madrid's build-up and forced them to restart.

At the same time, Gimenez also chipped in and got himself involved going forward as he played in a couple of decent long balls from for the likes of Antoine Griezmann, Diego Costa and others.
