Editorial portrait
The story
He scored the goal that won Argentina the 2024 Copa. He's the man who keeps Messi's burden lighter. Lautaro is a striker built in the old Italian school — back to goal, body in the way, finisher in the box — and the calmest penalty taker in his federation since Batistuta.
“Score, breathe, go again.”
