Impact Dias did not take a step down from his past seasons, as he put together another high-level campaign to remain a top defender in the Premier League.

He will now maintain this role moving into next season, likely poised for another solid season while also hoping he can make a difference with Portugal in the Euro 2024.

Bags unfortunate own goal Dias registered an own goal, two tackles (two won) and one clearance in Tuesday's 3-3 draw against Real Madrid.

Impact Dias witnessed a brief period of bad luck Wednesday, as he was marked for an own goal after Eduardo Camavinga's shot hit off of the defender and redirected into the goal in the 12th minute. However, it would be harsh to call this goal Dias' fault, as it was more of a wrong play right time situation, with the defender left with little he could do once the ball was hit. At least he did recover a little bit later on in the match, with his two tackles won and a clearance in his 90 minutes of play.
