His prolific goal-scoring and acrobatic game led to Libonatti becoming a crowd favourite, and he was nicknamed Matador.In the summer of 1925, due to an agreement that allowed the sons of Italians to take advantage of dual nationality, he moved to Torino.In addition to his acrobatic skills, typical of Argentine players, Libonatti had a tactical intelligence that allowed him to offer spectacular mains balls (in the future they would be called assists) to his teammates.In the 1928–29 season, the club lost a final against Bologna, but the attack managed to score 117 goals in 33 games.Libonatti first played with Argentina, winning the 1921 South American Championship as the tournament's top scorer with three goals.
