Leon Bernhardsson

After conquering a childhood fear of icy lakes that left him trembling on the docks, this Swedish maestro channels that cold composure into blistering acceleration and hypnotic technical skill on the wing. His elegance with the ball is matched only by his tendency to drift out of defensive assignments when the pace of the game stagnates. Despite his lapses, he remains a lightning-fast playmaker who treats every match as a calm victory over his past limitations.
