Chivas have many issues to solve ahead of the Clausura, but there’s one defensive metric that they have few concerns about.

According to Statiskicks, Antonio Briseño was the second best in terms of successful aerial duels in Liga MX last year.
Across the two terms of 2021, the Chivas defender came out on top in 156 battles in the air, bettered only by Félix Torres of Santos Laguna.
Manager Marcelo Michel Leaño will hope the 27-year-old defender can maintain that consistency heading into the 2022 Clausura.
