‘Big Match’ Flop – Inter Milan Captain Unable To Make The Difference In Serie A Derby Clashes | OneFootball

Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez has failed to impress in almost every high-profile Serie A fixture this season.

According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, El Toro has been terminally unable to make the difference in high-stakes matches.

Cristian Chivu suffered defeat in his inaugural managerial appearance in the Milan derby on Sunday night.

Furthermore, his side drew a blank in Serie A for the first time this season, with Hakan Calhanoglu squandering a second-half penalty.

Meanwhile, Lautaro Martinez left the pitch just after the hour mark following another dismal performance.

Despite hitting the post late in the first half, El Toro hardly influenced proceedings at San Siro.

Moreover, it was his fourth scoreless appearance against Serie A top teams this season.

Indeed, he has now failed to score against Juventus, Milan, Napoli, and Roma.

On the other hand, he has fared remarkably in the Champions League, netting four goals in only three outings.

However, his credentials will be on the line when Inter take on Atletico Madrid tomorrow night.
