Lautaro Martinez became Argentina's hero in the semi-final against England, as he scored the winning goal in extra time and secured the Albiceleste's qualification for the 2026 World Cup final, where they will face Spain.
After the match, the Argentine striker did not hide his emotion for the moment he experienced, indicating that scoring that goal was an early dream.
"This is a very strong emotion, too strong to bear. After I scored, I thought about the first time my father bought me a pair of football boots, since then I have wanted to score this goal. It is a dream come true, a boundless joy. I said to Medina on the bench: 'Now I will go in and score'. Now we have another final ahead. It is something magical," he said.
Lautaro's words reflected great happiness over the team's achievement, while the striker also spoke about how Argentina managed to change the course of the match.
"I am a man and I enjoy life. I dreamed of this moment, I swear. Enzo also scored a fantastic goal and this team continues to prove its worth. The English gradually got tired. They pressed for 60 minutes and were exhausted. After the goal, they calmed down and that gave us more peace of mind. We spread the game and took control of it," he said.
