R. De Paul

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

In 2026/27, R. De Paul was a regular for Inter Miami in the Major League Soccer: 22 appearances and 1890 minutes, averaging 86 minutes per outing. Per 90 minutes that is 2.5 key passes per 90, 0.4 assists per 90 and 1.8 ball recoveries per 90 — the rate profile behind Paul's totals.

Paul played 1,614 passes at 86% accuracy — 76.9 per 90, which is the volume that decides whether a side builds through him or around him. Carrying the ball, Paul attempted 29 dribbles and completed 34% — 1.4 attempts per 90.

Set against Paul's own record, 2026/27 reads differently: he has managed 9 in a season before, so 5 is well short of his own mark; it is also the heaviest workload we have recorded for him, 4291 minutes against a previous high of 3204. Discipline is part of the picture for Paul: 4 bookings in 22 appearances, one every 5.5 games.

Our records cover 10 seasons of Paul's career, 2015/16 to 2024/25, across 5 clubs — Valencia, Racing Club, Udinese, Atletico Madrid and others. In that time he has played 397 matches across 9 competitions, 27,839 minutes in all. His best return on our records was 9 assists in 2020/21, from 38 appearances. The current campaign has yet to give him a run.

Paul has 35 appearances in UEFA Champions League on our records, and the gap is real: he is roughly 1.5 times more productive domestically, 0.17 per 90 domestically against 0.12 in Europe. Paul has reached 8 assists in a season 2 times, between 2018/19 and 2020/21 — a level held rather than found once.

Away from his club, Paul has 41 appearances for Argentina on our records — across Copa America, World Cup and World Cup - Qualification South America.
