The current Benfica footballer went from playing in the Argentine League to making the leap to Europe and, later, being crowned World Champion. He is only 21 years old.

At 21 years of age, we are facing one of the 'jewels' of football. Enzo Fernández was crowned the best young player at the Qatar 2022 World Cup after a brilliant performance with the Argentina National Team . Currently in Benfica, he is one of the starters for the Portuguese team and earned being part of the line-up with which the Argentine National Team lifted the trophy. Currently in Benfica, he has a whole future ahead of him.

Age is not a factor that 'weakens' him when measuring himself against experienced players. On the contrary, he plants himself as a veteran to face everyone. In this World Cup, he only started from the bench against Saudi Arabia and Mexico. To put an end to this dynamic, he scored one of the winning goals against Tata Martino's team.

Since the duel against Poland, Scaloni has not moved him more than the headlines. In the round of 16 he provided an assist for Australia. The own goal was only put on hold after qualifying. For the quarterfinals, he was not intimidated by the Netherlands. Semifinals did not require much effort with Croatia. Against France, in the final, he made everyone forget how young he was.

Enzo Fernández's statistics in the World Cup in Qatar, globally, are as follows: seven games played, of which he started five, four wins, two draws, one loss, one goal, one assist, one shot at the post , an own goal and a yellow card.

Six months of madness for Enzo Fernández.

Enzo Fernández was born in 2001 and lived the World Cup of his life. In July he was playing the Copa Libertadores with River Plate. By August he managed to make the big leap to Europe by signing for Benfica in the Portuguese League. His debut in the Champions League was with a great goal.

Months later, he was part of the pre-summoned list and made his debut in a friendly match against Honduras. A meteoric career that has established him as one of the great midfielders of the future. This Sunday he was from the game and reached his first World Cup.

The most dangerous weapon is shot from outside the area. Until September he had not worn the albiceleste shirt, but three spaces were enough for him against Honduras and Jamaica, to convince the coaching staff that he had a place in the list of 26. His great start to the season at Benfica already presaged that something big could happen.
