The VERY first thing Lautaro Martinez did after scoring v Peru – it has to do with Leo Messi

Lautaro Martinez ran to Leo Messi after scoring against Peru at the Copa America.

The two enjoyed a warm hug.

Leo often supports Lautaro in public, especially after the latter is mocked for his poor finishing in big games. In 2020, he said he'd like to see Lautaro play for Barcelona.

Lautaro Martinez has scored four goals in just three games for Argentina at the 2024 Copa America. As for Leo Messi, the 37-year-old missed the Peru clash through a minor injury.
