Gabriel Batistuta is a powerful striker that all defenders fear. At its peak, Batistuta had comprehensive technology, strong attack power, and extremely threatening feet in the air. Its signature skill was powerful and powerful shooting. Barty's goal is known as "BATIGOL", which is marked by a hearty and powerful shot. Barty's shot is accurate and powerful, and the powerful explosive force can ensure that he can hit a powerful shot from any position. Although dribbling and protecting the ball on the spot are not Batistuta's strong points, Batistuta's sense of ball is very good after rushing with the ball, which enables him to get rid of defense and adjust his shooting posture at a high speed. Because of the diversity of scoring methods and the strong threat of attack on the court, Batistuta does not need to take on the responsibilities of modern centers such as defending, pulling the edge, and returning the ball in tandem. His role is very simple, which is the starting axe of the team's front court. [57-58] (Sina Sports Review)
Gabriel Batistuta has been at the top of the Serie A goalscorer list for five years from 1994 to 2000. His power near the penalty area is too great. [59] (Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson Comment)
Gabriel Batistuta is the flag of Argentine football. In addition to his football skills, his greatest advantage is sincerity without hypocrisy. For this reason, he lost a lot and gained a lot. As a defender, I regret that I never had a chance to defend Batty. [60] (Former Argentine football defender Walter Samuel review
I like Batistuta's spirit of "those who block me die" in his heyday, the courage to shoot from any angle and from any position! [61] (Former Chinese 110m hurdler Liu Xiang review

On April 1, 2022, Batistuta was sentenced by the Federal Court of Afghanistan to detain personal assets due to tax evasion. [62]
According to the lawsuit filed by the Argentine tax authority to the court, Batistuta failed to pay personal property tax in 2021 according to the law, involving nearly 4 million pesos (about 40000 US dollars). The tax authority of Afghanistan requested the court to judge that Batistuta paid the tax. Arulard, the federal judge of Afghanistan, made a judgment on this and imposed a preventive seizure on all the property under Batistuta's name after his retirement in 2005 until he paid the overdue personal property tax and related fines and interests.
