CB Lucas Leiva

Other than his egregious mistake against Leicester, Lucas played quite well against the champions. Unfortunately, it was so abhorrent that it’s borderline unforgivable. Games changes on moments, and it wasn’t one mistake, there was about four in one.

First a bad touch, followed by another bad touch, followed by an opprobrious decision and trumped with a horrific pass. There were so many mental exit ramps for Lucas to take, but he just stayed in the car until it went off the cliff.

But the way that gets put behind him is game reps to build his goodwill back. For what it’s worth, Lucas put the mistake behind him and stayed mentally strong and finished off the game as he started it before the mistake; very well. Most players would fold under that. He didn’t, that’s hugely commendable.
