Have you ever wondered which defenders are the most commanding in their territory?
Well, thanks. CIES Football Observatory '%s', who has consulted the data from her partner, Instatic, now we have a clear idea who's the most dominant in the game in the air, the Periscope broadcasts.
The website analysed the top ten leagues and identified players who have won the largest percentage of duels in the air.
The only criterion considered was for each defender on the list to have at least 20 duels won since the start of the season.
With an impressive percentage of 96.3, Zooma came first, until Atalanta's Albanian defender, Berat Jimshi, finished second with 95.7%.
The third position was captured by United States defender Harry Maguire by 90%.
Below, the full list of top ten air defenders this season.

9. Lorenzo Tonnell (87.5%)
8. Jon Lucumi (87.5%)
