A brace and a trip to the finals earns Fabian Ruiz the Player of the Match.
At age 29, Ruiz feels like he is playing his best football under Luis Enrique, and the fact that a memorable season could be capped with a global title just makes it all the sweeter.
“The truth is that I’m going through a really wonderful moment in my career,” he said. “I think it’s one of the best, if not the best. We’re coming off of an incredible season, we have just one match to go to round things out, so I’m very happy on a personal level but more so on a team level. We are playing very attractive and beautiful football, while at the same time the team are showing that they want to be a champion in all the tournaments, and so just one game is left for us.”
