Lautaro is excellent: He acts as captain and carries the team on his shoulders.

In yesterday’s victory of Inter away against Atalanta, great credit also goes to an outstanding Lautaro Martinez. The Nerazzurri captain led his team by scoring the crucial 0-2 goal, and even earlier had a goal disallowed that could have brought him a personal brace.

Today’s sports newspapers praise Lautaro’s performance, highlighting both his usual fighting spirit, by carrying the team on his shoulders, and the potential assist for Frattesi, who missed a chance to score the 0-3. Here are today’s newspaper ratings and comments.

Lautaro leads the way in Atalanta-Inter: Newspaper player ratings

LA GAZZETTA DELLO SPORT 7.5 – Touches his thigh and you think: it’s not his night. Yet he sends Thuram through on goal, breaks through for the second goal, and gifts Frattesi a golden opportunity.

CORRIERE DELLO SPORT 7 – With man-to-man marking, he does his usual job fighting and providing layoffs. Then acts as captain, puts the team on his shoulders, and scores the goal worth another point and a half. And makes it three points overall.

TUTTOSPORT 7 – Scores the goal of triumph, the icing on the cake of a performance from a true leader.
