Ramiro Enrique is Making History at Orlando City

Ramiro Enrique is having the kind of season that leaves no room for doubt at Orlando City. And I’m not talking about occasional flashes of brilliance—this is about consistency, something even veteran forwards often dream of but rarely achieve. Over his last 15 games, Ramiro has found the back of the net 10 times and still managed to squeeze in three assists.

But wait, there’s more to it than just numbers. If stats were all that mattered, we’d have forgotten about plenty of young talents by now. What sets Enrique apart is that he’s become the heart and soul of Orlando City’s attack, going beyond the cold, hard stats. And you know what’s most impressive about it? We’re not talking about some veteran star with a bunch of titles under his belt. Ramiro Enrique is just 23 years old, arrived quietly, and out of nowhere became irreplaceable.

No one could’ve predicted that the "gift" of Ramiro Enrique would unfold this way. When he joined Orlando City, the expectations were typical: a young foreigner coming from a smaller market. Well, today, anyone who bet low on him is kicking themselves because Ramiro didn’t just meet expectations—he shattered them in style.

This guy has a presence in the box that strikes fear into defenders, with a quickness of thought and execution that’s almost like a masterstroke. He’s not just a goal-scorer—he creates chances out of thin air, where none seemed possible. With 10 goals in 15 games, he’s practically carrying the attack on his back and has already cemented himself as the offensive anchor.

The secret to his meteoric rise might seem simple, but it’s so much more than a couple of factors. Ramiro Enrique blends a killer instinct with a rare intelligence for someone with so little experience in international leagues. It doesn’t matter if he’s up against a league giant or a smaller team—he treats every match like it’s his last, and man, that makes all the difference. And, of course, there’s the mental side of it. Enrique plays with a confidence that’s almost annoying. It’s like he knows exactly what he’s going to do before the ball even gets to him, as if he’s got some secret script for the game. That makes him the kind of player every coach loves having on their team but hates to face on the other side.

We’ve seen plenty of stories about young talents who lose their way. So many start strong but get carried away by ego, fame, or just a lack of focus. But Ramiro seems cut from a different cloth. He plays with his feet on the ground, not dazzled by the spotlight. The responsibility he’s taken on at Orlando City is proof of that. Not just anyone can handle the pressure of being the go-to guy for goals at just 23, especially for a team looking to solidify itself in the MLS.

And MLS isn’t just any league. It’s growing faster than even the most optimistic could’ve predicted. Teams like Orlando City are pouring money into becoming serious contenders, and finding players like Ramiro Enrique is what can make the difference between being middle-of-the-pack or contending for titles. Orlando City’s project is clear: they want to be big, they want to upset the giants, and maybe even dominate MLS in the coming years. And with Enrique leading the charge, that goal is starting to feel a whole lot more real. The winning mentality this young Argentine has brought is spreading through the squad. When a player’s confidence and performance rise like this, the whole team follows suit.

There’s no doubt that, if he keeps this pace, Ramiro Enrique is going to be more than just an important piece for Orlando City. He’s got all the tools to become one of the biggest names in MLS and, who knows, maybe even catch the eye of some of Europe’s more traditional clubs. But for now, Orlando isn’t thinking about losing their new talisman anytime soon.
