El Toro is his nickname because of his leadership, toughness, and aggressiveness on the field (“The Bull,” in Spanish).  Martinez was named one of the most promising young players in world football by 90min.com in 2020, while manager Mauricio Pochettino regarded him as one of the finest strikers in the world.

Lautaro Martinez’s professional career began in 2014 when he was promoted to the senior team of Racing Club. In a 3-0 win over Curcero, he made his debut.

Hernan Crespo, Samuel Eto’o, and Christian Vieri are among the Inter players that have the same record as Lautaro. At the age of 23, Martinez accomplished these two goals.

Inter was well on their way to winning Serie A for much of the season, but their form slipped once the competition was interrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite finishing second, Inter finished one point behind eventual champions Juventus. However, the title race was over well before the season ended.

Martinez’s outstanding performances for Inter drew the interest of a number of major clubs, who attempted to gain his services before to the start of the 2020-2021 season. Barcelona, in particular, was anxious to get the youngster to match him up with Lionel Messi of Argentina. However, due to financial difficulties caused by the Covid-19 Pandemic, the Catalans were unable to meet his Buy-out Clause, and Lautaro’s contract with Inter Milan was extended until 2024.

Lautaro Martinez started the current season where he left the previous one, by being impressive for Los Blancos. Lautaro’s greatest game of the season was a hat-trick against Crotone in a 6-2 victory. Lautaro Martinez has 15 goals and 8 assists in 36 games for Inter Milan in all competitions as of March 2021.

Lautaro Martinez was called up to Argentina’s U20 team for the first time in January 2017. Lautaro was a member of Argentina’s U20 team at the 2017 U-20 World Cup when he made history by becoming the first player ever to be expelled after a video referral after a scuffle with England’s Tomori. Before getting called up to the senior team, he played 11 games for the team and scored 7 goals.

Lautaro made his debut appearance for Argentina in March 2018 in a friendly match against Spain. He was named to the preliminary team for the 2018 World Cup but was ultimately left off the list. Martinez made his full debut for the national team later that year, scoring his first goal in a friendly match against Iraq. In a friendly against Mexico in 2019, he earned his first and only hat trick for Argentina, which Argentina won 4-0. His most crucial goal for the national team came in the 2019 Copa America versus Venezuela.
