Marcos Alonso

Alonso's 2026/27 season, read from the numbers

In 2026/27, Marcos Alonso was used in rotation for Celta Vigo in the La Liga: 5 appearances and 411 minutes, averaging 82 minutes per outing. His standout number is match rating — 82nd of 905 defenders and inside the top 9%.

Per 90 minutes that is 1.8 tackles per 90, 2.2 interceptions per 90 and 56% of his duels won — the rate profile behind Alonso's totals. The profile is lopsided rather than complete: measured against defenders, Alonso sits in the top 20% for chance creation but only the top 59% for shot conversion.

Set against Alonso's own record, 2026/27 reads differently: he is playing far less than he once did — 501 minutes against 2860 at his peak; his average match rating has slipped from 7.06 to 6.01 since 2025/26. Discipline is part of the picture for Alonso: 2 bookings in 5 appearances, one every 2.5 games and 1 red card.
