It was after a controversy involving the former Newells, now in Tigres in that country. They filmed him in a box pointing and bothering the rival goalkeeper with a laser pointer.

A video went viral that created a stir in Mexican soccer, which began to talk about the "laser scandal." "I want to take advantage of the importance of social networks to publicly offer my apologies to Esteban for the event that occurred last night," said number 1, who is usually involved in this type of confrontation that goes beyond the playing field. "Nahuel is sorry and has already expressed it, but we do not agree with what happened because we have internal codes and regulations. An internal sanction will be imposed as we have always done," said the sports director of the institution, Antonio Sancho. "His condemnable unsportsmanlike attitude cost him dearly who knew how to be a substitute goalkeeper for the National Team," said Tata Martino.
