10 years of FIFThis chokejob narrative needs to stop, it was ridiculous already before the Copa.
I won't let that pass.

Most Diverse PosterI still believe he as a player is better than how he played in CL in most games. At least we are progressing out of groups now, early in his Inter career we couldn't even do that (not mainly his fault ofc).
Dude has only got to play against proper competition in the last 5 seasons, but you can sense his progression. He has two Copas, 2 Scudettos and a World Cup to show for it.
He is a natural at scoring, altho not in the way Haaland is. Scores with instinct, not as a prolific finisher. He does everything to make the team win.

10 years of FIFNostradamusMost Passionate MemberOlmo was impressive as well, since the KO stage. He was a sub till the Semi (played almost entire QF tho).
I feel Fabian gets the edge overall.

10 years of FIFI don't see where the Lautaro choking big matches narrative is coming from.
I have never seen him suffer vs big teams rather smaller ones. He has scored against Milan a lot , against Liverpool, against Barca etc
The problem is that in every season he has a 1/2 months of draught where he can't score no matter vs whom he is playing. If that draught happens in Feb/March than our CL chances are ruined like it has happened most of the time. If it happens in June than Argentina is facing the consequences in the WC
For me that draught comes because as smn said he is not a clinical finisher bur rather an instinct type of striker. Even the goal against Colombia now is not clean from a technical point of view , it just happened to go in. Therefore you would expect this type of striker to get more shots on goal for his numbers to go up ( or good luck) and of course vs bigger team you have less chances.
Milito was completely the opposite for example so no matter if it was CL final or league game , he would be able to maximize his occasions

Forum Supporter10 years of FIFThe problem tbh is that he's not amazing in the CL. Group stages a few years ago he had more shots than any other player but didn't score any goals for example.
12 goals in 44 CL matches.
There's plenty of "context" around it to explain some of it away but to be fair, there's plenty of "context" for other big game chokers too
3 in 11 in latter stages in the CL

Lautaro Martinez is one of my favourite players from the time he come. Even my signature is Lautaro is the best striker in the world. I know he Will huge, cause somehow he reminds me Falcao. Today, without Suarez, Aguero, and Falcao. Lautaro the only one striker who have Latin America signature. The movement, balance, shooting, and dribbling so Latin American.

10 years of FIFMy captain. Laughable that people wanted him out till recently. Still one of the most underrated players out there.
Still believe he is not in his absolute prime...

Forum Supporter10 years of FIFthats stupid, also given the fact that Argentina too was a colony of Spain.
If Marcus Thuram's father was born in Guadalupe does that mean Marcus should play for the NT of Guadalupe? just because he's black? The demographics of France NT is the result of France's colonial history, whether they like it or not, but to make a racist song about this is just small minded.

10 years of FIFYeah, it was idiotic. Enzo Fernandez apologised, but these footballers should know by now that this kind of behvaior is not acceptable these days.
