Eduardo SALVIO has commented on his call-up to the Argentina National Team.

The Benfica player spoke about how happy he is to being called-up to the Argentina National Team and that he was surprised to be included in the team. Playing at a very high level for Benfica, SALVIO, now 27 years old, has not played for Argentina since their 0-0 match in 2013 against Saudi Arabia.

But with Jorge SAMPAOLI taking over the team and changes being made, SALVIO was one of many fresh faces to be included in the squad. Speaking with Radio La Red, here’s what he had to say:

Eduardo SALVIO:

“I was not expecting this call-up to the Argentina National Team. Now that I’m with the National Team, I don’t want to leave it. The position I like to play in most is the right wing.”

Lionel MESSI, Sergio AGUERO score to end season on high note

Lionel MESSI and Sergio AGUERO both scored on Sunday as their team’s failed to win their respective leagues.

Heading into the last La Liga match day of the weekend, Barcelona knew that even with a win, they could still lose La Liga and that’s what happened. Lionel MESSI scored twice (missed a penalty and a clear cut chance) in Barcelona’s 4-2 win against Eibar. MESSI’s first goal was a penalty kick which was nearly saved (it would have been the second of the night) and his second goal was nothing short of genius. Running through ever Eibar player in his way, MESSI wiggled his way around them all and slotted the ball into the back of the net.

Just like Lionel MESSI’s FC Barcelona, Sergio AGUERO’s Manchester City did not lift their league trophy but did manage to score twice in a 4-0 win against Watford. AGUERO, who did not make the Argentina squad, is the 5th player to score 20+ goals in three consecutive Premier League seasons, SHEARER, HENRY, Van NISTELROOY and KANE being the other four players. AGUERO ended the season on 33 goals, a personal best in a Manchester City shir.

It wasn’t only Paulo DYBALA who managed to score this weekend as Alejandro GOMEZ and Giovani SIMEONE both scored in Serie A wins.

It’s been a highlight week for Alejandro “Papu” GOMEZ. After receiving his first senior call-up to the Argentina National Team, he scored the only goal in his team’s win which sealed European qualification. GOMEZ scored the only goal in Atalanta’s 1-0 win against Empoli.

Giovani SIMEONE also scored on Sunday, netting goal number 12 for the season as Genoa got a 2-1 win against Torino.

Lucas CASTRO also found himself on the score sheet, however, unlike GOMEZ and SIMEONE, couldn’t get a win as Chievo lost 5-3 to AS Roma.
