Grimaldo has started like a shot in the Bundesliga and has already had 5 games starting and playing 100% of the minutes. The aspirin team managed to get a creditable tie at the home of the almighty Bayern Munich that made them maintain the lead of the Bundesliga for one more day, yes by goal average.
Grimaldo had the luxury of showing off in Munich with a superb goal from a free kick that silenced the Allianz Arena and to sign a great game with a passing accuracy of 89% (51/57 passes) against a team like Bayern that always jumps under pressure to try to steal in the opponent’s field.
The Spaniard was signed precisely so that his offensive game would be fundamental in the team, since last season at Benfica he was the defender who gave the most assists in Europe with 14. If in addition to the assists you add its great ability to create danger from set pieces, Leverkusen has a lethal weapon to generate chances both in play and from set pieces.
Defensively, Grimaldo is not far behind, since the Spaniard has an average of 4 recoveries per game, 62% of successful tackles and 50% of duels won on average per game. His defensive contribution in Munich was key to earning a point against the favorite to win the league, with 7 of 11 duels won at ground level.
