An Argentina right-back has carried international rhythm straight back into club football, returning from a three-match friendly spell with the national team to score twice against Corinthians.
From Argentina duty to a decisive club return
The defender featured in each of Argentina’s three recent friendlies, including the match that marked Lionel Messi’s farewell. There was no extended adjustment period on his return to domestic duties.
- He played all three Argentina friendlies.
- One of those appearances came in Messi’s farewell match.
- Back with his club, he struck twice against Corinthians.
- His first goal of the match put his side 2-0 ahead.
A full contribution from the right flank
Often tasked primarily with covering the right side of the pitch, the Argentina international made his influence felt at the other end against Corinthians. His double provided the standout contribution after a demanding international window.
