The young defender was named Man of the Match in Argentina’s 2-0 win against Mexico on Friday.

Juan FOYTH, who started alongside goal scorer Ramiro FUNES MORI and captain Nicolas TAGLIAFICO, was awarded the trophy. Speaking after the match, here’s what the Tottenham man had to say:

“It’s always beautiful to represent Argentina and I’m leaving happy with the win. There’s a great group, we are enjoying it here and we’re doing well. The team did a great job.”
