The Nerazzurri captain's thoughts, after opening the scoring for the 2-0 win over Cremonese in matchday 23 of Serie a


A goal to open the scoring, to get the match off to the perfect start. It's none other than Lautaro Martinez, the captain, making his mark. It was his 13th goal of the season, strengthening his place at the top of the scoring charts. He is now Inter's fourth-highest goalscorer in Serie A history, tied with "Spillo" Altobelli on 128 goals.

Not just any goal: it was his 170th, just one behind Boninsegna, Inter's third-highest scorer of all time. Lautaro's momentum continues, and so does Inter's.

After scoring, he revealed a message printed on his shirt: a birthday wish and a dedication to his daughter. She was his first thought after scoring, and he will be returning to her with the Man of the Match award in hand.

After the match, the Nerazzurri captain shared his thoughts on the game.

“I dedicated the goal to my daughter. She's completely changed my life, so this award is for her. But it's also for our fans. We do a lot of work on set pieces. It's true that we've conceded some goals from them, and now we're working especially hard on it. It's important that we're always improving, because in close games like these, against teams that sit deep, set pieces are what can make the difference. We have to carry on like this and continue working hard to keep this crucial lead at the top of the table. There's still a long way to go with so much left to play for; every match is important to us. We need to improve on today's weaknesses, because we suffered in the second half. It's a very competitive league. In terms of the flare that went off, things like that just can't happen because they put people in danger. We're footballers, we're also people, and we put on a show for people all over the world. We need to be careful and apologise to Audero, who is also a former teammate and a champion, who won the Second Star with us. We also apologise to Cremonese's fans because incidents like this should never happen. ”
