Stat – Numbers Show Inter Milan Heavily Rely On Argentina Megastar Who Could Return For Fiorentina Clash | OneFootball

Serie A giants Inter Milan have reportedly become increasingly reliant on headline performer Lautaro Martinez.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInter1908, the Nerazzurri are a different team with El Toro on the pitch.

Cristian Chivu lost his talismanic striker to a calf injury in mid-February.

Indeed, Lautaro Martinez had to come off in the first leg of Inter’s fateful Champions League knockout tie against Bodo/Glimt.

As a consequence, he has missed the last three matches in Serie A, including a heartbreaking 1-0 loss to AC Milan.

Furthermore, Inter’s overall performances have noticeably dipped in his absence, with the Nerazzurri winning just one of their four games without their captain.

Inter Milan Become Reliant on Lautaro Martinez

Despite several injury setbacks, Lautaro is on course to lift another Capocannoniere award in Serie A.

Indeed, he leads the scoring charts with 14 goals, ahead of Rasmus Hojlund and Anastasios Douvikas, who are both on ten.

Meanwhile, the Argentine’s presence has been crucial for the Nerazzurri, who boast a 77% win ratio with El Toro in the team.

However, the percentages plummet to just 33% without the 28-year-old.

Moreover, Inter average 2.4 goals per game with Lautaro on the pitch, but that drops to just 1.0 per game when he’s absent.
