Lautaro-Martinez updated Instagram on December 23, posting a picture of himself and Argentine celebrity Batistuta. The photo was taken on the day of the final, and Lautaro showed off his championship medal to the camera.
Batistuta, known as the “god of war” in his time as a player, scored 10 goals on behalf of Argentina in the World Cup. Lautaro did not perform well in this World Cup, repeatedly missed opportunities, and the main position was replaced by Alvarez.
