Lautaro Martinez couldn’t have chosen a better afternoon to break his drought. The Argentine striker, in fact, with his brace brought Inter back to victory in the away match against Pisa, putting an end to a nightmare week that had seen the Nerazzurri defeated both against Milan in the derby and in the Champions League against Atletico Madrid.
Lautaro was the real star, being named man of the match by the main sports newspapers in Italy. Here are the ratings:
LA GAZZETTA DELLO SPORT 8 – In the first half he’s the only real threat, in the second half he brings out his majesty. The 1-0 goal was beautiful, a left-footed volley of high difficulty.
