Lautaro Martinez's loyalty was on a different level.
Inter Milan won 2-0 in the first round of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) round of 16 at 2:45 a.m. on the 6th (Korea time) at Feyenoord Stadium in Rotterdam, Netherlands. The victory gives Inter Milan a very advantageous position in the second leg.
Inter Milan showed a stable performance against Feyenoord, who is considered below in objective power. At the heart of it was Lautaro. In the 38th minute, Inter Milan were leading with Marcus Thuram's first goal.
An additional goal was needed to catch Seung-gi. Ace Lautaro appeared. The attack began in the fourth minute of the second half after Lautaro received a ball from the center. Later, the shot was blocked, but it came to Lautaro in the penalty box, and Lautaro finished with a strong shot.
After the game, according to Fabrizio Romano, an expert in the European transfer market, Lautaro left an interview with Inter Milan that he wanted to live his life.
He added "Of course, I want to end my career at Inter Milan. I love this club, and I feel good here every day. Even after receiving many offers, I signed a new contract last summer. I am very happy and proud to be in Inter Milan."
Although it is evaluated that it is not at the level of Robert Lewandowski, Elling Holan and Harry Kane, Lautaro is clearly one of the best strikers in the world. After leaving Argentina's lashing club in 2018 and joining Inter Milan, Lautaro grew up to be Inter Milan's ace.
From the 2019-2020 season, he showed his ability as a top striker in Italy's Serie A. He has become a player who easily scores more than 20 offensive points in the league. With Lautaro at the center, Inter Milan were able to revive, reaching the top of the league in the 2020-2021 season and the 2023-2024 season.
From the 2021-2022 season, there has never been a season that has not been consistent. He has scored 20 league goals every season since his first league goal. Last season, he won the league's top scorer for the first time in his career with 24 league goals. This season, Lautaro is still active regardless of the tournament.
As an Argentine national team, he is a player with a sluggish image in a big tournament, but this is actually limited to the 2022 Qatar World Cup. Lautaro has played a great role in Argentina since Lionel Messi began winning major trophies for the national team for the first time in his career in Copa America 2021. He has a great scoring ability with 32 goals in 70 A matches. In the last Copa America 2024, Lautaro was also firmly in charge of Argentina's front line.
Although Lautaro is born in 1997, he will soon be in his 30s, Inter Milan will be able to run the season without worrying about strikers for the next five years.
