On Saturday, the football world was abuzz with excitement as Manchester City defender Benjamin Mendy, commonly known as Otamendi, scored a hat-trick in his first appearance for Benfica in a UEFA Europa League match against FK Krasnodar.
The Argentine international, who has been a key player for City since his arrival from Monaco in 2014, has made a strong start to life in Portugal, scoring three times and providing two assists in just four matches. His performances have caught the attention of many fans and pundits alike, and he is currently the top scorer for Benfica in the competition.
Otamendi's impressive display came after he had already broken several goal-scoring records during his time at Benfica. In fact, he became the youngest player to score in European football at just 16 years old, and he has since gone on to become one of the most prolific goalscorers in Portuguese football history.
Despite the pressure that comes with playing for such a prestigious club, Otamendi has shown no signs of slowing down. He is known for his work rate and physicality, and his ability to read the game and make important contributions to the team's success.
As the season progresses, it will be interesting to see how Otamendi continues to perform for Benfica and whether or not he can help the team reach their goals this season. With his current form, there is every chance that he could be a key player for Benfica in the coming months.
