The 2022 World Cup was a great time for all other Argentine footballers, but Lautaro did not have a good time at all. A striker’s job is to score goals at crucial times for the team. But despite having many opportunities in the World Cup final, he failed to do so. Even though he scored the winning penalty in the tiebreaker in the quarter-final against the Dutch, Lautaro was completely unhappy with his performance. The Inter star finally returned to his form in the Copa America. Lautaro, who won the title of Inter’s best footballer in the 2023-24 season, scored 4 goals in 3 matches for Argentina and took the team to the copper quarter.

Think of this good performance as an atonement for yourself. He wants to get out of the trauma of the World Cup.

Lautaro said after the match, ‘I am happy because I managed to score in all three matches of the group stage. Because through this I was able to help the team. I also said after the match against Chile. I had a great season for the club. I want to get out of the trauma of that poor performance in the World Cup. Copa America needed that kind of preparation and I showed it.’
