Castro makes Argentina debut: “Unforgettable moment.”

Santaigo Castro made his debut for Argentina in a memorable match, scoring a hat-trick as the national team secured a 7-0 victory over Burkina Faso. The Roma striker was substituted in the second half, replacing Lautaro Martinez, fulfilling a lifelong dream that he had nurtured since childhood. Expressing his emotions, Castro shared, "There are moments that stay with you forever, and today I had the chance to experience one.

Wearing this jersey for the first time and representing my country is a source of pride that's hard to put into words." He further added, "Thank you to everyone who has accompanied me and been part of this journey. As a child, I dreamed of this moment, and today I can say it has come true. An unforgettable day. May it be the first of many."

Castro's teammates also expressed their admiration for the young striker. Messi, too, was thrilled to see Castro take to the field, despite the bittersweet feeling of seeing his idol play for the first time.
