Few remember the stage of Theo Hernandez at Real Madrid. He only played 23 games (3 assists) and barely had the opportunity to demonstrate his individual conditions with continuity, despite the fact that the team needed a left back to help Marcelo Vieira rotate the important games.
The merengue team wasted one of the most important talents it has had in recent years. He signed him in the summer of 2017 from Atlético de Madrid and they never knew what to do with him until the summer of 2019 when they sold him to AC Milan, at which point he became one of the best left-backs in the world by far. They did not give him confidence in the Santiago Bernabéu.
The breakthrough in Serie A
There are few full-backs in the world who are above the French. Names like Andrew Robertson, Alphonso Davies, and Trent Alexander Arnold are the only ones that can appear above him.
His impact on AC Milan was sensational since he arrived. He was the savior of the team in the most difficult moments and one of the leaders of the new project led by Stefano Pioli. A total footballer because he not only stands out for his overflow and good punch, but for his ability to interpret the game to be important in the development of the game.
And, after being one of the best players in Serie A, he confirmed his big moment by scoring France’s winning goal against Belgium in the UEFA Nations League semi-finals and became the star of a memorable night due to the great match quality.
Theo Hernández continues to show in each game that he has a differential talent and that, at only 24 years old, he can remain one of the best in the world in his position.
