Ximo Navarro

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

In 2026/27, Ximo Navarro was used in rotation for Deportivo La Coruna in the La Liga: 6 appearances and 533 minutes, averaging 89 minutes per outing. Per 90 minutes that is 2.5 tackles per 90, 1.5 interceptions per 90 and 47% of his duels won — the rate profile behind Navarro's totals.

Navarro played 220 passes at 86% accuracy — 37.1 per 90, which is the volume that decides whether a side builds through him or around him. Set against Navarro's own record, 2026/27 reads differently: he is playing far less than he once did — 533 minutes against 2607 at his peak; his average match rating has slipped from 6.96 to 5.54 since 2025/26.

Our records cover 6 seasons of Navarro's career, 2017/18 to 2026/27, across 3 clubs — Las Palmas, Alaves, Deportivo La Coruna. In that time he has played 143 matches across 2 competitions, 11,503 minutes in all. His best season on our records was 2018/19, when he averaged 6.93 across 31 appearances.

Treat these rates carefully. At 533 minutes — roughly 6 full matches — Navarro is 367 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.
