Felix scored a goal and assisted another, and his showing was satisfactory enough to signal and tempt many clubs as he looks to leave Atletico Madrid if Diego Simeone remains as manager. Portugal was unfortunately to be eliminated in the quarter-finals by Morocco, and now Atletico Madrid is searching for a new club; we already have numerous bids from United and Arsenal, and the La Liga giants are eager to sell their pricey signing.
4. Alexis Mac Allister
The Brighton player did not play in the first game, but when he was deployed, he quickly became Argentina's most vital midfielder, starting every game and earning a goal and an assist in this World Cup.
