Player Info
José María Giménez is a formidable Uruguayan centre-back and a defensive pillar for both Atlético Madrid and the Uruguayan national team. Since joining Atlético from Danubio in 2013, the 185cm tall defender has matured into one of the world's most respected and physically dominant defenders. His career is defined by a warrior-like mentality, exceptional aerial ability, and fierce tackling, perfectly embodying Diego Simeone's defensive philosophy. Key highlights include his integral role in Atlético's 2020-21 La Liga title triumph, their UEFA Super Cup win in 2018, and multiple runs to the UEFA Champions League final. With Uruguay, he has been a stalwart in multiple Copa América campaigns and World Cups. Individually, he has been named to several La Liga Teams of the Season. Now a veteran leader at the club, 'El Profe' Giménez remains the bedrock of a defense feared across Europe, combining old-school grit with modern defensive intelligence.
