Alex Telles

Alex Telles is one of those players who makes you wonder why he never quite got the spotlight his talent deserved. A left-back from southern Brazil with a left foot that could bend a ball around a wall and into the top corner before the goalkeeper even reacted — he was genuinely devastating at Porto, where he won the Primeira Liga and became one of the most feared set-piece takers in European football. The move to Manchester United in 2020 felt like a breakthrough moment, but injuries and competition kept him from ever fully owning that left-back spot. His stints at Sevilla and then in Saudi Arabia with Al-Nassr showed he still had plenty left in the tank. For the Brazil national team, he's been a reliable option, and honestly, if you watched him in his Porto prime, you'd understand why the hype was always there — this guy could score from anywhere.
