watch video: Enzo Fernandez - 1 Vs 3 - Enzo is a world class talent.
On 2 August 2022, 21-year-old Enzo Fernández made his Benfica debut in a UEFA Champions League third-round qualifier against FC Midtjylland. He was uncapped at senior international level for Argentina and his move to Portugal was his first foray into European football.
138 days later, the young midfield maestro is a world champion with Argentina, was named the FIFA Young Player of the Tournament in Qatar, is an integral part of a Benfica side that is top of the Primeira Liga, has gained passage into the UEFA Champions League knockout stages helping As Águias top their group ahead of Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus, and he has yet to lose a single match for his new club. It’s fair to say that Enzo Fernández’s rise has been nothing short of meteoric.
The 2022 World Cup was the stage where many around the world will have first caught a glimpse of this all-action midfielder, but fans of the Primeira Liga will have known just how special the man from San Martín is from the moment he arrived in Lisbon.
As we head towards the January transfer window, Fernández is one of the most sought-after midfielders in Europe and his remarkable form for Benfica has led many to believe he is the best player in Portugal. This is the story behind his ascent and why multiple clubs are seemingly prepared to break the bank to acquire his services.
