Playing Style Profiles
A Dynamic Forward. Statistically, he stands out as an elite creator (3.0 key passes/90), a prolific assist provider (0.33 assists/90), a dynamic dribbler (2.5/90), wins the physical battle (58% duel success), creates high-quality scoring opportunities (0.67 big chances/90) and central to possession (79 touches/90).
Retegui is the rare modern striker who wins his battles before the ball even arrives—a physical presence who makes space through attrition rather than invention. His aerial win rate (top 20%) and ground duel dominance (top 10%) tell the story of a centre-forward who earns everything the hard way.
