Inter Milan Vs Slavia Prague – Argentina Superstar To Make His First 2025/26 Champions League Start | OneFootball

Inter Milan talisman Lautaro Martinez will make his first Champions League start of the 2025/26 season against Slavia Prague tonight.

According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, El Toro will spearhead the attack at San Siro this evening.

Back pain sidelined the 28-year-old from Inter’s curtain-raising fixture against Ajax last time out.

However, Lautaro Martinez has regained full fitness and will lead the line against the Czech champions.

Marcus Thuram excelled in the Argentine’s absence, netting a match-winning brace in Amsterdam.

Yet, the French superstar will not retain his place in the starting XI.

Instead, Cristian Chivu will reportedly field Ange-Yoan Bonny form the first minute.

Indeed, the 21-year-old is ready to make his first-ever competitive start for the Nerazzurri.

Meanwhile, young gun Francesco Pio Esposito will drop to the bench despite scoring against Cagliari on Saturday.

Therefore, Bonny and Lautaro will form Inter’s striking duo against Slavia Prague.

El Toro was incredible in Europe last season, netting nine goals in 14 Champions League appearances.
