Lautaro Martínez spoke about being nominated for the 2024 Men’s Ballon d’Or award.
Martínez started for Argentina in their 3-0 win vs. Chile in the South American World Cup qualifiers and despite not scoring, Lautaro was one of the best players on the pitch. Having won the Copa America with the Argentina national team and Serie A with Inter, Lautaro has been nominated for the Ballon d’Or award. Speaking to the media after Argentina’s 3-0 win, here is what he had to say:
“The Ballon d’Or? For the season I had, I deserve to be where I am. Because I have worked hard and suffered a lot in previous years. It’s the second time in a row that I’ve been in this ceremony. I think I’m ready to compete for it.”
