Humberto Santos

Standing at an imposing two meters, this Cabo Verdean wall uses his elite reflexes and command to dominate the box with unnerving calm. His journey nearly ended after a bizarre unicycle accident shattered his ankle, but the grueling recovery only fueled a ruthless intensity in his shot-stopping. While his tendency to wander too far from his line can occasionally invite danger, his spectacular diving makes him one of the most reliable anchors in world football.
