The bigger picture: Fernandez played seven of Argentina's matches in Qatar as La Albiceleste won their third World Cup. He posted leading figures for touches (118) and successful passes (77) in finals and made more saves (10) than Gennaro Gattuso's World Cup showing for Italy in 2006 (15). Benfica is reportedly ready to make an offer for Fernandez but will not consider letting him go until 2023 when they receive an £87m offer.
