However, he was replaced by Juventus forward Paulo Dybala at half-time.

“We’d already planned to take him off at half-time,” CT Lionel Scaloni told TyC Sports after the game.

“It wasn’t fair, but he came here with a slight knock. I hope he always has problems!"

Lautaro has now netted nine times in 13 caps for the Albiceleste, while beginning the season for Inter in a front two with Romelu Lukaku.
