Álvaro Fidalgo, the most fouled player in Liga MX
The Spaniard is the most fouled player by opposition teams during the Liga MX Clausura 2023.
The influence of Álvaro Fidalgo at Club América can be seen in every Liga MX game, as he is a fundamental part of the backbone of Fernando Ortiz’s side. Such is his prominence and predominance on the field that he is the most-fouled footballer in Mexican soccer.
The 25-year-old Spanish midfielder has become a difficult player for any opposition to contain, and as of today he has suffered the most fouls of any player; over just 8 games of the Clausura disputed so far, he has been fouled an incredible 19 times. This puts him ahead of Atlas striker Julián Quiñones and full-back Maximiliano Araujo.
‘The little magician’ is also the player with the greatest number of fouls received while playing at home, and the player who suffers the second most fouls in the early stages of games.
These figures are taken into account from other numbers that the América midfielder has as well as his dominance when it comes to the network of passes his side produce. He is the player that has recorded the most successful passes in the opposition half, with a total of 545, in the entire tournament.
Club América’s win against Tijuana saw them complete a year without losing at the Estadio Azteca. They sit 3rd after 8 games with 4 wins, 4 draws and 0 losses; Atlas are their next opponents on February 26.
