Banega the unsung hero

The best player in the Final.

Ever Banega as central midfielder became the team’s playmaker, leading the attack, doing a great job distributing the ball, making a brilliant pass to Aguero that led to the first goal. Banega was also outstanding defensively. A solid presence in the middle.

Another great #5 in the making.

Maxi Gigante

Maxi Moralez was also one of Argentina’s best players, great performance in the Final and one of the best players in the U-20 World Cup.

Maxi won the Silver Ball award for second best player in the World Cup and he won the Bronze shoe for the third top goal scorer in the World Cup.
