A message: Changes to Mundo Albiceleste, reduced ads, new design

1

Hello everyone,

Since the start of the new year, we have been experimenting with different ads and locations across the Mundo Albiceleste website. And if we are being completely honest, it was time for a permanent change.

We have also been hearing and reading all of your feedbacks and are happy to announce what we believe are significant changes. The number of ads on the website have been reduced (we believe significantly) and ultimately, while the ads do help in keeping up with the maintenance of the website, we still want every one to enjoy viewing and reading the content.

Mundo Albiceleste was built by Argentina fans and for Argentina fans, which is why we believe that should remain the priority and will remain the priority.

Should you have any comments or suggestions, please, do let us know in the comments below or email us at mundoalbiceleste10@gmail.com. Our aim is to continue to improve and to provide more content (which we will continue to be doing and will be introducing new sections throughout the year) than we ever have before. And to aim for quality over quantity.

As always, your feedback is strongly appreciated. Mundo Albiceleste has been around since 2006 and we would not be where we are without the Mundo Albiceleste family.

Thank you,

Lautaro Martínez scores for Inter in 2-0 win vs. Lazio to win Coppa Italia

Lautaro Martínez scored in Inter Milan’s 2-0 win against Lazio in the Coppa Italia final in Rome as Inter won their tenth Coppa Italia title.

It was Inter’s second trophy of the season after winning Serie A a little more than a week ago. Marcus Thuram scored the first goal before Lautaro added the second.

The title was Lautaro’s ninth with Inter since joining the club from Racing Club nearly eight years ago.

Inter’s season also had difficult moments. The club were eliminated from the Champions League by Bodø/Glimt, and Lautaro suffered a soleus injury in his right leg during the series. He missed more than a month before returning with two goals against Roma, but later suffered another setback and missed more time.

With two Serie A matches remaining, Lautaro has 17 league goals, the most in Italy this season.
