ggplot2 - geom_text how to position the labels in the middle of the bars

I need some help for a beginner with RStudio/ggplot2. I made a barplot with following code

ggplot(match_player, aes(x = civ, fill = winner, group = winner), show.legend = T) +
  geom_bar() +
  geom_text(aes(label = stat(count)), stat = "count", color = "black", size = 3, position = "dodge")

barplot image

enter image description here

I would like to keep the labels in the middle of the belonging bar.

You're close, you just need to change the position argument in the text layer. Example with standard dataset below:

library(ggplot2)

ggplot(mpg, aes(class, fill = as.factor(drv))) +
  geom_bar() +
  geom_text(stat = "count", position = position_stack(vjust = 0.5),
            aes(label = after_stat(count)))
