What do we have here, Dieguito?

Martínez playfully interacted with the team's chef, Diego Iacovone, as he presented the spread, which included provoleta, chorizo, sweetbreads, and chorizo. "What do we have here, Dieguito?" Martínez asked, to which the chef responded with a list of the grilled items. When faced with the abundance of grilled meats, Martínez quipped, "Where's the healthy stuff? Let it stay in the kitchen, right?"

The chef jokingly replied that he had called for the healthy options but received no answer. "All light, all light," Martínez declared, zooming in on the sizzling meat on the grill. Other team members, including Lautaro Martínez and Giuliano Simeone, were also seen enjoying the pre-match gathering, with Simeone sharing a more understated photo of the barbecue on his social media.
