Dowon became the central figure when the England U21 team competed against the Spanish team, showcasing impressive grace and skills that clearly defy his age.
Clips from the game went viral: the Arsenal midfielder confidently controlled the ball, quickly bypassing opponents and initiating attacks, which excited the fans.
One of his highlights was the penalty earned after an aggressive run into the box, leaving the defender behind.
This penalty helped the England team equalize 3-3 in a friendly match against Spain.
“We witnessed something special. This guy is incredible,” wrote one fan on X (formerly Twitter).
“Teams cannot handle him at this level; he will very quickly find himself in 21,” added another.
“This guy is a terrifying player when he comes at you,” noted a third commentator.
Dowon's technique, vision, and awareness are compared to legends: some fans consider him the 'English Kaká'.
This is not the first time this Arsenal heir has impressed fans. He has already shown a high level during preseason training and made his Premier League debut against Leeds United when he was not even 16 years old.
Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta entrusted him with a place in the squad for the Champions League group stage.
Dowon has a chance to become the youngest player to ever participate in this competition: the record belongs to Youssoufa Moukoko, who played for Borussia Dortmund at 16 years and 18 days in 2020.
Fans are thrilled with Dowon's play. One remarked: “When he gets the ball, you know something magical has happened.”
“This is a talented player, possibly the best in England, maybe in the world in his age group,” wrote another commentator.
Dowon will celebrate his 16th birthday only on December 31, so he still has time to set a record in the Champions League.
Thanks to his incredible skills and confidence on the field, Max Dowon has every chance to become an important figure in modern football. His performance for the England U21 team promises to be just the beginning of an exciting career, where we will watch his future achievements and new records.
