Masantonio is one of Huracán's legends,[1] being the all-time top scorer of the club. Besides, he is placed 3rd. in the list of Argentine Primera División top scorers with 253 goals in 358 matches.[2] Despite those outstanding marks, Masantonio was never top scorer of an individual season. He didn't win any official title with Huracán, either.[1]
