Assists Against Atletico Alex Balde recorded one assist along with three shots (one on target), one accurate cross, and two chances created in Tuesday's 3-1 victory over Atletico Madrid.

Impact Balde registered his second league assist of the season with a well-placed cross from the left flank to Ferran Torres, sealing the match for Barcelona. The left back has been a staple in the Barcelona defense all season thanks to the attacking ability he brings, with 11 chances created and five accurate crosses so far.

AUGUST 23, 2025 • Associated Press

Regular sight at left-back Balde started in 26 of his 32 appearances while recording four goals on 26 chances created in La Liga.

Impact Balde was back in a starting role at left-back immediately for Barcelona this campaign despite ending last season injured, with the defender seeing a regular spot until an injury in April hindered the end of his campaign. He would still notch a solid campaign with the team after bagging four assists, three goal contributions less than his career-high in a season. He appears likely to see a similar role next season, as he does have a few more years on his contract. However, he will have to be wary of the rise of Gerard Martin, who was seeing success at left-back while Balde was out during the final stages of the season.
