“He collapsed mentally”: from essential to foil, the galley of Clément Lenglet at Barça

A year and a half ago, Clément Lenglet shone on the pitch. The player trained in Nancy (Meurthe-et-Moselle) was a starter in the France team, where he took the place of Samuel Umtiti, and at FC Barcelona. But since that date, he has experienced a real downfall. His last tenure in Blue (he has 15 selections) dates back to the round of 16 of Euro 2021, in June against Switzerland. Placed in the axis of a three-man defense, he was at fault on the first goal of the Helvetii by losing his duel in front of Haris Seferovic. In club, the 25-year-old central defender had a nightmarish 4th season with Barça where he only started seven times in La Liga. The last time was Sunday May 22 against Villarreal (0-2). He also participated in four C1 and two C3 matches.
