Thousand of Argentina fans turned up at Lautaro Martinez’s hometown in Argentina to celebrate the Seleccion’s World Cup victory.
The pictures were posted by the Inter striker on Instagram, showing a wild crowd greeting a proud El Toro holding his gold medal at the Teatro Municipal. It happened at Bahia Blanca, where Lautaro Martinez’s parents live.
“We are World Champions and I am happy to have shared this with you, thank you Bahia Blanca for so much affection,” wrote the Inter striker on Twitter.
Lautaro didn’t score in Qatar and lost his starting spot to Julian Alvarez in the second part of the season. However, he converted the decisive penalty kick against the Netherlands which helped Argentina reach the semi-finals.
