Pavlos Panagopoulos

A defensive powerhouse who reads the game like a script, this relentless Greek anchor transforms every challenge into a masterclass of positioning. After a bizarre freak accident involving a spilled hot espresso burning his entire thigh forced a long recovery, he returned with a hardened obsession to intercept everything in his path. While his lack of raw vertical leaping often leaves him outmuscled, his ferocious defensive intuition ensures he is the first wall that no opponent wants to break.
