NewzErik Lamela began his professional career as a 17-year-old youth prospect debuting for River Plate in June 2009, as the club urgently placed its hopes on the young midfielder. Following River Plate's relegation in 2011, Lamela transitioned to European football.
Over the course of his career, Lamela advanced to play for the Argentina national team and won the prestigious FIFA Puskás Award. More recently, his career trajectory has taken an unusual turn as he was humorously or metaphorically described as being signed as an equipment manager ("utilero").
