    Rúben Neves has achieved remarkable consistency at both club and international level. He is one of the youngest Portuguese players to debut in the Champions League and holds the record as the youngest Portuguese scorer in the competition's history. His leadership at Wolves, where he captained the side and won the Players' Player of the Season, endeared him to fans. With Portugal, he has won two UEFA Nations League titles, a feat matched by few. His transfer to Al-Hilal for £47 million signaled his status as one of the most valuable midfielders in the world.
