Lautaro Martínez, the scorer chosen by Scaloni and excited with his numbers

El “Toro” opened the scoring with a tremendous header after a precise cross from Rodrigo De Paul 43 minutes into the first half and shouted his 17th goal with the Argentine national team.

In this qualifying round for Qatar 2022, Lautaro has five in ten games and was one of Lionel Messi.

The Bahiense is the scorer of the cycle of Scaloni, who always chose him as his “9”, with two more than Messi, the top gunner in history with the 80 that he reached against Uruguay.

The former Racing Club striker has a goal average of 0.51 per game – the same as Messi- and it got between the top twenty of the historical scorers of the “albiceleste”.

At just 24 years old, he surpassed Claudio Caniggia and Maximiliano Rodríguez (both 16) and reached the line of Ángel Labruna, Miguel Ángel Brindisi, Juan Román Riquelme and Ariel Ortega.

The numbers of the “Bull” are exciting because they are similar to those of Hernan Crespo (0.55) at 64; and they are already above Sergio Aguero (0.43) in 97 and of Higuain (0.41) in 75. The only one that is still far away is Gabriel Batistuta (0.73) at 77.
