Ángel Correa shows an impressive performance in the 2023-2024 season with Atletico Madrid. At the ripe prime age of 29, the Argentinian striker consistently demonstrates his prowess through his exceptional chance-creating abilities, ranking in the 96th percentile. His proficiency in progressive carrying and passing, both at around 86%, indicates a forward who’s adept at advancing play.
His goal efficiency, while not in the very top echelon, remains a respectable 72%, underscoring his potential as a reliable goal source. Correa’s ball recovery – marking his hustle to reclaim lost balls – is also commendable, placing him in the 87th percentile.
However, his performance isn't without flaws. His defending skills leave something to be desired, particularly within the penalty area. His aerial duel win percentage is below average, suggesting a lack of physical dominance in high-ball situations.
Most of his touches happen in the attacking third while he's less active in the midfield and defensive thirds, implying a sharp focus on his striking duties. Despite lower touches in comparison, his Expected Assists (xA) is remarkably high, illustrating a player who, when involved, is instrumental in creating goalscoring opportunities.
Overall, Correa's performance signals an incisive, efficient and direct player capable of executing crucial offensive manoeuvres, albeit with clear room for improvement in the defensive aspect of his game.
