Against Arsenal, it will once again be Lautaro Martinez leading the Nerazzurri attack in tonight’s match. The captain hopes to drag the team, together with Thuram, towards a positive result in a direct clash that is worth important points for the Champions League standings.
The Argentine arrives at the match with a particular statistic that Chivu would like to see erased tonight. As La Gazzetta dello Sport recalled, among the 15 goals scored so far this season, none have come in a big match. A statistic that contrasts with the European performance of the number 10, considered one of the best scorers in the cup in the 2025 calendar year.
Precisely in the Champions, Lautaro has already found the net four times in the autumn phase of the current edition. The Nerazzurri coach is now asking his striker for an extra effort to overcome the obstacle represented by the Gunners.
The new version of the captain, more of an attacking midfielder than a pure center forward, has not reduced his contribution in front of goal. On the contrary, it has made the team more fluid and balanced from a tactical point of view. Tonight could be the right occasion to add a mark in a high-profile match to his numbers.
