Captain Dante comes next after making a return to the starting XI following his European suspension. He completed 95.6% of his passes, including the superb diagonal ball for Nicolas Pepe that started the move that led to Nice's goal.
He pipped JC Todibo by the narrowest of margins. Called up by France for the first time, Todibo won seven of his nine duels, and made a game-high nine possession recoveries.
