After Argentina's triumph in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, many eyes were on Lionel Messi.

However, apart from the excellent championship played by the 35-year-old veteran, his teammate Enzo Fernandez also stood out, being voted the best young player of the tournament.

Playing as a winger for Benfica, Fernandez scored one goal and provided one assist in this championship, and was one of the key figures in building Argentina's attack.

In the past, titles of the best young player at the World Cup were awarded to players such as Paul Pogba, Thomas Muller, and Kylian Mbappe. 

What #FIFAWorldCup he's had! 🤩
