Gabriel Batistuta scored in a friendly game earlier this week.
Batistuta is once more scoring. The legendary and most prolific number nine in the history of the Argentina national team turned back the clock.
The 53 year old striker took part in a charity game earlier this week in Italy where he scored in the Partita del Cuore 2022 event. It was a pass from the legendary Francesco Totti and Batistuta would score.

Enzo hot topic here… His performances have been really great so far. Several MOTM performances and now voted midfielder of the month in his first month. HUGE plus that he has proved that he can join a new league & new team and instantly become a key player. Just like Romero did with NT & Spurs, Licha with MU. If he can do it so naturally with Benfica, I’m sure he can do it with Argentina.
I have been so impressed that I decided to compile his passing statistics from his first 10 competitive matches in Europe… I was not disappointed.
Enzo (10 matches) – 5 league, 1 UCL, 4 UCL qualifiers
1123 touches (112 per match)
885/985 passes (89.8% accuracy) – 88.5 per match
91/113 long balls (80.5% accuracy) – 9.1 per match
9 key passes (0.9 per match)
I know it’s a small pool of matches and it should be reviewed again end of season bla bla bla…
But so far these passing stats are VERY impressive for a 21 year old who has just moved to Europe
Actually it gets better when you compare the league stats with the top stats of the other leagues
Primeira Liga
Touches 118.2 (Enzo)
Passes 92.8 (Enzo)
Long balls 10.8 (Enzo)
EPL
Touches 106.7
Passes 90.2
Long balls 8.7
La Liga
Touches 94.0
Passes 68.7
Long balls 7.3
Serie A
Touches 92.4
Passes 70.6
Long balls 9.5
Bundesliga
Touches 92.0
Passes 72.6
Long balls 8.4
Ligue 1
Touches 103.3
Passes 83.0
Long balls 9.2
Yep, our guy has seen the ball more than any other player in Europe’s top 6 leagues so far
🙂
Most favourite no 9 ever. The best paocher.
He has lost quite a bit of pace over the years but nevertheless he’ll be a great addition to our squad. Hope Scaloni is watching.
He’s 53 for fk sake.
What did you expect
Every time someone misses the point of humor, satire or sarcasm, a butterfly dies somewhere in the world…
😂
🤣🤣😂😂😂 relax
Yes I sure he’s better than higuain. Lol
He scores a volley some years ago also in exhibition match, and its similar chance which Higuain blew against Germany lol
I don’t think he can still run. So magical. He was the main reason for me to follow Serie A back then
God how I miss seeing Bati play..
by far the best # 9 we’ve ever had..
please dont argue that lol
Higuain is the best… for our opponents.
