He is one of the few players to play for and won titles at Argentina's big three clubs River Plate, Boca Juniors and Club Atlético Independiente. He was part of 5 championship winning teams in Argentina as well as being topscorer in three Argentine championships. He scored 245 top flight goals in the Primera Division Argentina and La Liga in Spain making him one of the top marksmen in the history of football.
