Onana’s pairing with Tielemans gives Belgium a midfield combination that is physically among the best in the tournament — both clear six-footers, both capable of carrying or screening, with complementary on-the-ball profiles. He shields the back four when De Bruyne pushes high, and his aerial presence at Belgian set-pieces is now a primary attacking threat alongside the captain’s delivery.
Strengths
- Aerial duels — wins over 70% in the Premier League
- Ground-covering range from box to box
- Ball-carrying through the press
Recent form
Regular Premier League starter for Villa; physical anchor of Belgium's midfield.
At 6'4", he is the tallest outfield player in the Belgium squad — and yet ran the third-fastest top speed at Villa training camp last season.
