On 15 May 2018, Battaglia and several of his teammates, including coaches, were injured following an attack by around 50 supporters of Sporting at the club's training ground after the team finished third in the league and missed out on the UEFA Champions League qualification.[7][8] Despite the attack, he and the rest of the team agreed to play in the Portuguese Cup final scheduled for the following weekend,[9] which they lost to C.D. Aves.

On 1 April 2023, Battaglia joined Brazilian Série A side Atlético Mineiro, signing a contract until December 2024.[13] On 30 November 2023, he extended his contract with the club until December 2025.[14]

International career[edit]

Battaglia played nine games for the Argentina U-20 team in the 2011 South American Youth Championship held in January and February 2011 in Peru. The team finished third in this tournament, qualifying for the 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup held in July and August 2011 in Colombia. Battaglia appeared in four out of five tournament matches, before the team was eliminated in the quarter-final by Portugal.

In May 2018 he was named in Argentina's preliminary 35 man squad for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.[15] However, he was not included the final 23 man squad selected by coach Jorge Sampaoli.

On 11 September 2018, Battaglia made his debut in the senior team in a 0-0 draw friendly match against the Colombia national football team.[16]
