Pedro Porro quietly delivered one of his most complete performances of the season in Tottenham’s Europa League win over Bodo/Glimt, and now the underlying stats are backing it up.
While Tottenham Hotspur have battled with a never-ending injury list throughout the 2024/25 campaign, one man has remained ever-present, ticking along under the radar – Pedro Porro.
The Spanish full-back, at the time of writing, has played more minutes than any other outfield player at the club, clocking up a staggering 3,892 minutes across all competitions.
What makes that number even more impressive is that Porro has not just been a body on the pitch. He has been a reliable contributor, playing his part at both ends of the pitch and stepping up in big moments when Spurs have needed him most.
Pedro Porro shines for Tottenham in Bodo/Glimt win
Against Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League, Pedro Porro produced arguably his finest all-round display in a Tottenham shirt this season – a performance that blended defensive solidity with attacking threat.
The full-back scored Tottenham’s second goal of the night and helped the team secure a clean sheet, but it was the full 90-minute display that earned him plaudits – and rightly so.
According to Fotmob, Porro’s underlying stats showcased exactly why he was Spurs‘ standout performer on the night.

Defensive solidity from Spurs defender Pedro Porro
Defensively, the Spaniard was just as sharp. Porro made one last-man tackle, was not dribbled past once, won three out of four ground duels, made three ball recoveries and five defensive actions, all while maintaining composure throughout the contest – it truly was a man-of-the-match display.
The goal against Bodo/Glimt was his fourth of the season in all competitions – a healthy tally for a full-back, especially one playing in a system that demands both defensive discipline and attacking output.
In terms of overall goal contributions, Porro now has 13 this season – four goals and nine assists – underlining his importance in both domestic and European competitions.
The Spaniard has been instrumental in Tottenham’s Europa League campaign so far, with a crucial assist in the first leg against Bodo/Glimt and an equaliser in their quarter-final tie against Frankfurt.
