Man United defender Lisandro Martínez took to Instagram to put up a fierce post as Argentina made the semi-finals of the 2024 Copa América by beating Ecuador in the quarter-final.

It was anything but easy sailing for the Albiceleste here as Lisandro’s 35th-minute strike was cancelled out by Kevin Rodríguez in injury time, ultimately taking the game to penalties.

Argentina came out victorious in the penalty shootout, where Leo Messi missed his strike, thanks to the heroics of goalkeeper Emi Martínez.

In response to Lisandro’s post, Emiliano left a, well, typical comment for the United centre-back.

Emiliano responds to Lisandro's post with these words: "you are a crack." Make of that what you will.

FotMob named Lisandro the man of the match for his performance against Ecuador.

The resurgent summer for the 26-year-old continues, who returned to playing action not too long ago after a 2023/24 season that saw him struggling with injuries. Argentina next play either Canada or Venezuela in their 2024 Copa América semi-final tie.

Another era-defining tournament for Messi and Co

Lisandro Martínez’ performances for Argentina are obviously good news for his country, but excellent news for Man United as well; they have got their mercurial centre-back back and firing.

This is crucial for United, who are set to enter a transitional 2024/25 season come August.

In the meantime, Lisandro and the Albiceleste lads are on their way to further establish themselves as one of the most formidable Argentina sides in the nation’s history. One only hopes that Lisandro comes out of this campaign uninjured.
