3 | Ruben Dias - 2022/23 Performances

If he didn‘t come back into the team when he did, there‘s a strong chance we‘d have ended the season with nothing. He‘s that important. Transforms us as a defensive unit.

I keep coming back to dias thread because I really think that he changed our season defensively and it was so important for the treble. I am not sure when we last lost a match while he was on the team!

Pep said in the post match interview, "what different with this team? they defend better and they defend (with aggression)" . Ruben brings that calmness in defence. He makes the players around him be calm and enjoy defending.

Wherein previously we used to cruise every game but somehow lose the game because we were more focused on the build up play rather than defence. Ruben is the balance pep needed to win UCL. Even if we had a one off nervous bad game, defence is there to save the day until we score and win!

How the fuck? I still have 0 idea on how he finds a way to NOT stick that header into his own goal.

Deservers a lot of credit this season, the change in our success since he'd been a staple at the back again is clear to see.

He just got a lesson off Lukaku a second earlier lol

Not only an incredible defender, but such a positive leader - always encouraging, always bringing the best out in his teammates.

A real leader, excellent performance last night, always puts his body on the line and never lets us down.

He is responsible for our turnaround this season. He can never leave. I want him in our management after he retires. He is single too, so maybe we can find him a Mancunian wife ;).
