Fabián Ruiz
ESP
Delivers one assist against PFC
Ruiz assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 loss against Paris FC.
Analysis: Ruiz played a direct creative role in Sunday's 2-1 defeat at Paris FC, delivering the cross in the second half that travelled across the area before Bradley Barcola finished at the back post to give his side the lead. The Spanish midfielder showed no ill effects from his recent injury absence and once again displayed his defensive work rate and pressing intensity, recording three tackles and four interceptions. Ruiz ends the Ligue 1 campaign with one goal and four assists across 20 appearances, and his form heading into the UEFA Champions League Final against Arsenal on May 30 will be a significant factor in Luis Enrique's midfield plans.
Provides assist as substitute
Ruiz assisted once to go with three crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-1 loss versus Lyon. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 95th minute.
Analysis: Ruiz made his first appearance in three months in Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Lyon, coming off the bench in the second half after recovering from a knee injury and delivering the assist for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's stoppage-time consolation with a well-placed pass on the edge of the area, while adding two key passes and three crosses. Ruiz had been sidelined since mid-January and his return adds depth to his side's midfield for the final stretch of the title race.
