7 Claudio Bravo – Barcelona
Trending
Claudio Bravo has been instrumental a record-breaking season for Barcelona – the only disappointment for the Catalans this season has been in the UEFA Champions League, a competition Bravo does not participate in. The Chilean enjoyed a fantastic 2015, racking up multiple medals, and has been remarkably consistent in the Barcelona goal.
That he is placed 7th on the list speaks more about the calibre of keepers ahead of him rather than any particular flaws in Bravo’s game, and the fact that Barcelona’s style of play rarely requires Bravo to be called upon. Bravo has lost the Zamora trophy after winning it last year, and his weakness of parrying long range strikes back into dangerous areas came back to haunt the Chilean against Villarreal.
However, Bravo continues to be a calming presence when the Barcelona defence goes missing, and the worried face of Luis Enrique when the Chilean picked up an injury in the last month of the season put paid to the esteem with which he is held within the squad.
