Italy, Serie A Inter champions, Lautaro Martínez back as captain | OneFootball

El Toro played again after recovering from his injury, provided an assist, and celebrated his third Scudetto in Italian football.

The Argentine striker lifted the Serie A trophy with Inter Milan after a 2-0 win over Parma, thanks to goals from Marcus Thuram and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, a result that sealed an impossible-to-overcome gap in the standings. The nerazzurri reached 82 points in the league and opened a 12-point lead over Napoli with only 9 points left to play for, securing the title with three matches remaining.

Today had a special twist for El Toro. After missing the last three matches due to injury, he returned to the pitch and came on in the 22nd minute of the second half.

Despite the physical setback, this latest triumph confirms the outstanding form of the former Racing player throughout the Italian campaign, to the point of establishing himself as the squad’s top scorer. His numbers speak for themselves: 16 goals and 6 assists in 27 matches played.

With this brand-new Scudetto, the third of his career, El Toro added another trophy to his personal honors list. He has now won 12 official titles in his career, eight of them with Inter and the other four with the Argentina national team.

Even so, Lautaro’s hunger for glory does not stop. In a matter of days, he could add another star when, next Wednesday, May 13, he plays in the Coppa Italia final against Lazio.
