Masantonio is one of Huracán's legends, 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. Despite those outstanding marks, Masantonio was never top scorer of an individual season. He didn't win any official title with Huracán, either.
