Mastantuono broke Maradona's record, took the number ten in the national team

Franco Mastantuono, the new member of Madrid's "Real" team, took the number ten in the Argentina national team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

This number holds cultural significance because famous footballers, including Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi, previously wore it. Mastantuono became the youngest player to wear this number in the national team.

At the age of 18 years and 23 days, he wore this number, breaking Maradona's record, who had obtained it at 18 years and 9 months. The national team head coach Lionel Scaloni specifically wanted to give the number ten to Mastantuono.

Initially, this number was planned to be given to another player, Thiago Almada, but he could not play in the match against Ecuador due to a muscle injury. Thus, the young player confidently secured his place in the national team and is expected to become an important player for the team in the future.
