In the first Argentinos Abroad of 2017 we take a quick look over all those who caught the eye whilst plying their trades in various leagues around the globe. Any that you feel deserved a mention and are not here then feel free to leave a comment.
Serie A got back underway after the Christmas break and Juventus showed no signs of letting their foot off the gas with a comfortable 3-0 win over Bologna thanks to the Argentine strikeforce of Gonzalo Higuaín and Paulo Dybala. Pipita’s smart volley sneaked under Antonio Mirante before Dybala tucked away a penalty to double the lead. Higuaín added a simple header after half time to wrap up the points and ensure the Bianconeri remained four clear.
Roma remained on the pace after a 1-0 win over Genoa in which Federico Fazio excelled in central defence, city rivals Lazio also kept up despite Lucas Biglia missing from the penalty spot and Mauro Icardi’s fine season continued with another assist in Inter Milan’s 2-1 win away at Udinese.
