Player Info
Gary Medel, known universally as "Pitbull," is a Chilean defensive legend whose career has been defined by immense passion, ferocious tackling, and leadership. Now 38, the 171cm tall warrior is back home with Universidad Católica, but his legacy was forged in Europe with clubs like Sevilla, Cardiff City, Inter Milan, and Beşiktaş. Primarily a defensive midfielder who can also slot into central defense, Medel's style is all about intensity, breaking up play, and motivating those around him. He is a cornerstone of Chile's golden generation, winning two Copa América titles (2015, 2016). His return to Católica is a fitting chapter for a national icon who plays every minute as if it were his last.
