Lautaro cements his place in history: "A special moment, the perfect evening"

“Today, it was an important match for us to win, because we have a very demanding schedule. Luckily, the team had the right attitude. I am happy because we qualified in the top-eight and that was the main objective for us. I dedicate the match ball to my son and my family, who came to watch me. We sealed the win after 15 minutes and this happens when you have the right hunger, being a man up we managed to play with more serenity. I am proud to have equalled Mazzola, but the important thing is that Inter continue to win and I am happy to please the fans. We are a great side, we respect everyone and we showed our worth two years ago, last year we deserved to beat Atletico, but today we want to continue playing well. I am happy for my teammates, staff and fans. Obviously, our objective this year is to win every competition that we play in, now we have to think about an important match, in the derby against AC Milan. This is still a perfect evening, unforgettable. Reaching the round of 16 was a fixed objective that we've had since the start of the season, and we've achieved it. Skipping two matches is really important for us: we deserved this win. It's a special moment for me, I feel great, I am playing a lot of matches and responding well physically. Now, I need to recover because the derby is coming: we know what happened in Riyadh, but for us this isn't payback, all of the derbies are different and special. We will celebrate today and then think about the derby, which is hugely important for our league campaign. ”
