Luis Díaz, with 11 duels won. Next: Dominik Szoboszlai 5, Alexis Mac Allister 5.

Which Bologna player recovered the most balls?

Dan Ndoye, with 7 recoveries. Next: Jhon Lucumí 6, Stefan Posch 4.

Despite the 2–0 loss at Liverpool, Ndoye led Bologna's defensive work with 7 recoveries. He outperformed defenders Lucumí, who recorded 6, and Posch, who finished with 4.

How is the rating calculated?

The rating measures a single match: what the player produced against what they cost, compared with the average for their position in that league and season, and adjusted by position (a 70 for a forward is as hard to get as a 70 for a defender). A normal match is around 50, 70 is already very good and only one in a hundred goes above 80. It is not the NVP, which ranks the whole season.
