“Veteran left-back who defends first and simplifies everything.”
GoalPost verdict
GoalPost score (GPS)
GoalPost read
M. Acuña remains a veteran full back with value from a long record of dependable work, especially from River Plate and his recent spell at Sevilla. The case is tempered by the league discount and his uncertain place in the lineup, with his peak years behind him.

Analysis overview
M. Acuña is a seasoned full-back who plays with restraint and experience. He holds his lane, defends his side cleanly, and chooses his moments to step on rather than constantly surging forward. His value is in reliable positioning, tidy recovery work, and giving Argentina a calm outlet down the left.
