**Show the answer**

Answer

2025-26: Defender S (percentile 93); in 2024-25, X (percentile 22). More tackles per 90 in 2024-25. The difference in 2025-26: wins more duels and is dribbled past less. Each season is measured against the defenders of that league.

Context

Making more tackles does not always signal better defending. While Rodrigo Abascal averaged more tackles in 2024-25, the 2025-26 season brought a 61% duel win rate and just 0.20 dribbled past per 90, reaching grade S.
