Enzo Fernandez was surrounded by Panama players, who were quarrelling for his shirt, after Argentina's first game back since winning the World Cup. The 22-year-old was awarded 'Best Young Player' in Qatar for his tremendous efforts in midfield as Lionel Scaloni's side won football's greatest honour.
He was an integral part of his country's success in December, featuring seven times and directly contributing towards two goals. Upon Argentina's return to home-soil at the Monumental de Nunez Stadium, the Chelsea star and his teammates were given a hero's welcome against Panama.
Thiago Almada handed his country the lead with less than quarter of an hour to spare before Lionel Messi doubled Argentina's lead with a fantastic free-kick. While the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner stole the limelight in Buenos Aires, it was Fernandez who the opposition were infatuated with at full-time.
