Raúl Lopera

Standing as an imposing fortress between the posts, this reserved Colombian goalkeeper combines explosive reflexes with an uncanny ability to snatch crosses out of thin air. Before every match, he meticulously braids three strands of dry grass into his glove strap, a strange habit that leaves his teammates bewildered yet silent in respect of his peerless aerial command. Though his distribution can occasionally be erratic, his aerial dominance makes him the calm, terrifying bedrock of the defense.
