Quiet in loss

Matanovic registered one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 3-0 defeat against Aston Villa.

Analysis: Matanovic had a quiet night as Freiburg's trophy hopes ended, only recording a single shot from his forward role. To make things worse, his one shot wasn't even on net. He still earned three goals and one assist in 15 appearances (eight starts) this UEL campaign.

Matanovic finished the 2025/26 Bundesliga season with impressive numbers, as he notched 11 goals and two assists across 31 league outings but only 14 starts.
