Who is Bruno Guimarães?
Guimarães is a Brazilian 23-year-old midfielder at Lyon. Him, Aouar, and Caqueret have formed one of the best u23 midfield trios in the world, if not the best. Out of the 3, only Aouar gets the plaudits while the other two are unfairly underrated

Bruno Guimarães moved from Atl Paranaense to Lyon in 2019 for a €20m fee. It seems like a lot but he will most likely repay that fee when a bigger club buys him. He is a brilliant creator, dribbler, and defender. He is well rounded and can only get better from here
Let's take a look at his stats in the 19/20 and 20/21 Ligue 1 
6.47 Succ. Pressure p90 (80 %tile)
0.98 pAdj interceptions p90 (81 %tile)
4.16 pAdj Succ. tackles p90 (90 %tile)
27.8% tackles success (35 %tile)
Elite ball winner, not the best at 1v1 defending

Along with great defense, he's a great creator

3.88 shots created p90 (96 %tile)
8.32 passes into final 1/3 p90 (94 %tile)
527 yards progressed p90 (92 %tile)
One of the best creative CDM/CM in the top 5 leagues, amazing at moving the ball forward

2.03 successful dribbles p90 (91 %tile)
84.6% dribble success % (76 %tile)

He's a great dribbler and passer, could use some work on turnovers though

Note: Ligue 1 is still a top 5 league in the world, and it's the league he plays in. There is no other way to get his stats as this is the best league he's played in. Don't disrespect this talent just because he plays in a fArMeR league. He will become great one day. Just watch.
