The 5 Best Full-Backs in the World currently

#2. Dani Carvajal (Real Madrid)

Carvajal is as good a full back as any

The Spaniard has been making waves in the footballing fraternity since returning to Real Madrid in 2013.

Carvajal’s biggest asset is his hard-working nature. He gets through his fair share of offensive and defensive work every game and his ferocious pace allows him to go up and down the flank regularly.

On the defensive front, the right-back is extremely handy with his brand of aggressive defending and a tough nut to crack. In the current season as well, he has averaged 1.5 tackles per game to supplement his 1 interception per match.

As for his adventures in the final third, he provides Real Madrid with an attacking avenue at all times. Moreover, his tireless running stretches defences and accords the likes of Gareth Bale and Lucas Vasquez the license to move in-field.

Additionally, the Spaniard boasts of the rare ability to judiciously pick the timing of his forward rampages. And Carvajal very seldom makes the wrong choice.

Though the Spaniard would’ve wanted to make the net bulge more, a lack of goal-scoring numbers certainly doesn’t offset the numerous merits he brings to the plate.

Thus, he takes the runner-up spot on our list.
