Player data: 2000-01 → 2021-22 only. Player-level match sheets come from Zenodo (BeSoccer, CC BY-NC 4.0 licence, non-commercial use). No free source provides them after 2021-22: more recent matches are not counted here. Penalties conceded are not attributed to players in the source, so they are not analysed.

In short
