Lautaro Martinez remains on the bench for the entire World Cup final

A World Cup final without Lautaro Martinez on the field. The Inter striker was unable to take part in the match that closed the world tournament, remaining seated on the bench for all ninety minutes and any extra time. The unpredictable course of the game prevented the coach from bringing him on, thus ending his World Cup experience.

From a historical point of view, it is a curious fact: for the first time since 1982, no Nerazzurri player has set foot on the pitch in the final act of a World Cup. The Inter presence is still certified, however, with Martinez bringing home a prestigious silver medal.

The personal record of the Toro in the tournament remains positive: three goals scored and one assist provided to his teammates were decisive for Argentina‘s journey. Memories that the striker will carry with him, despite the bitter ending of a final experienced from the bench.
