Bruno Cabral, with his brilliant year-end performance, has firmly positioned himself as one of the greatest prospects of River Plate and Argentine football.
Cabral was the winning card for his team, shining with his effectiveness: • Tournament Record: Scored 7 goals in just 4 matches. • Key Matches: Shone with a hat-trick against Inter Milan and scored against Chelsea in the semifinals. • Double in the Final: This Sunday, he sealed his performance with two decisive goals in the final against Atlético de Madrid.
Who is Bruno Cabral? Cabral's impact was felt long before the Messi Cup. He even scored a brace in the final against Atlético de Madrid.
Bruno Cabral at the Messi Cup The tournament organized by Lionel Messi, which brings together the world's best youth academies, was his international platform for consecration.
Buenos Aires, December 14 (NA) – River's talent machine shows no signs of stopping, and in its latest batch emerges Bruno Ezequiel Cabral Galeano, who dazzled everyone with his goals in the Messi Cup.
According to the investigation by the Argentine News Agency, his recent record is simply devastating: in just two years at the "Millionaire," he has proven to be an area predator with international projection, and was in Miami scoring against European teams.
After passing through several neighborhood clubs and consolidating himself at Camioneros, he arrived at River's Pre-Ninth in 2023, where it took only a week of training for him to be signed by scout Gustavo Petrochelli.
Since then, his career has been a path of records: • Two-time Top Scorer (2024 and 2025): He was the top scorer of the Ninth's championship-winning team in 2024 with 26 goals, and repeated the feat with the Eighth's championship-winning team in 2025, this time with 34 goals, including a goal in the Superclásico against Boca. • National Record: He solidified himself as the footballer with the most goals in all categories of Argentine football in the last year.
His scoring ability is not limited to the club: playing for the Argentina U15 team in the CONMEBOL Evolution League, he scored 10 goals in 5 matches, confirming his continental quality.
How does this young talent define himself? Cabral describes himself as a modern and versatile forward: "I like to come out of the area to start the attack or help in the recovery, I shoot diagonally and I have power and speed to attack and with good finishing".
His main reference in the position is none other than Julián Álvarez, whose style combines speed, power, and a goal-scoring instinct.
