Lamela was once one of Argentina's top prospects. He made his professional debut as a child through the River Fulate youth team and was expected to grow into a top player along with several European and South American talents such as Neymar and Mario Goetze. Afterwards, Lamela made her way to the European stage wearing an AS Roma uniform.
During Roman times, Lamela grew up showing off her outstanding aggressive talents to the fullest. At the time, Lamela was considered one of Serie A's top midfielders. Tottenham paid attention to Lamela's performance and pushed ahead with the recruitment of Lamela to fill the ace position where Gareth Bale left.
However, during his time at Tottenham, Lamela rarely met expectations. He rarely played as a main player at Tottenham, and he played again when he left for the La Liga stage. There was also a clash with Son Heung-min, who joined the team from the 2015-2016 season, in fierce competition for the starting lineup. In 2016, Lamela drew great attention for arguing with Son Heung-min over the penalty kicker. However, since then, he has been reborn as a close colleague with Son Heung-min.

Lamela left Tottenham and played in Seville and AEK Athens, but did not forget Son Heung-min. During the 2022 visit to Korea, Lamela's Sevilla and Son Heung-min's Tottenham played a friendly match. When Son Heung-min had a war of nerves with Sevilla defender Gonzalo Montiel after the end of the first half, Lamela stopped Montiel in the process and also defended Son Heung-min. After the game, I had a good time hugging and talking with Son Heung-min.
After taking off his soccer boots, Lamela will immediately work as a coach in Seville and take the leadership path at the end of his career. The second life is expected to start without leaving soccer.
