Willian Pacho is one of the most exciting young central defenders in European football, having established himself at PSG following a strong season at Eintracht Frankfurt. Physically imposing and aggressive in the tackle, he reads danger quickly and is comfortable stepping out to press — qualities that suit both PSG's high defensive line and Ecuador's compact defensive structure. Developed at Independiente del Valle, he followed a path through Belgian football at Antwerp before breaking into the Bundesliga. Still only 24, he is already a cornerstone of Ecuador's backline and one of the squad's most marketable talents heading into the 2026 tournament.
