Gatti played 765 matches in the Argentine championship and is the league's record holder for this indicator.

As you know, Hugo was nicknamed "Madman" for his aggressive style of play. In 1982, he was chosen as the player of the year in Argentina.

After ending his career, Gatti became an expert and football commentator.
