X. Espart

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

In 2026/27, X. Espart was used in rotation for Barcelona in the La Liga: 5 appearances and 440 minutes, averaging 88 minutes per outing. The number that flatters him most is tackles — 20, 713th of 905 defenders and inside the top 79%.

Per 90 minutes that is 4.1 tackles per 90, 1.4 interceptions per 90 and 64% of his duels won — the rate profile behind Espart's totals. The profile is lopsided rather than complete: measured against defenders, Espart sits in the top 62% for assists but only the top 89% for chance creation.

Set against Espart's own record, 2026/27 reads differently: it is also the heaviest workload we have recorded for him, 440 minutes against a previous high of 164; his average match rating has slipped from 6.50 to 5.04 since 2025/26. Our records cover 2 seasons of Espart's career, 2025/26 to 2026/27, all of it at Barcelona. In that time he has played 11 matches across 2 competitions, 637 minutes in all.

Treat these rates carefully. At 440 minutes — roughly 5 full matches — Espart is 460 short of our 900-minute qualifying floor, so he does not appear on the ranking boards: on a sample this size two good afternoons move a per-90 number further than a month of steady form.

How these scores are built, and the minutes and rating floors a player must clear to appear on our boards, are set out in our methodology.
