Lautaro Martínez’s volley stunner in Inter win: the mark v Julián Álvarez | OneFootball

The striker from Bahía Blanca reached 21 goals so far this season and heads into the World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada in sharp form.

With three rounds left in the Serie A season, Lautaro Martínez won his third Scudetto wearing the Inter shirt. The season for Cristian Chivu’s side was excellent, at least domestically, and they secured the 21st league title in the history of Italian football.

As he gets ready to play in the World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, the forward born in Bahía Blanca took advantage of the clash against Lazio to get back on the scoresheet. But it was not only his 175th goal since putting on the Nerazzurri shirt — it also ended a month-long scoring drought.

The last time El Toro had scored was on April 5 against AS Roma, when he netted twice. That brought him to 21 goals and five assists so far in the 2025-2026 season (38 matches played), meaning he surpassed Julián Álvarez, who got injured and, unless he returns for the end of LaLiga, will finish with 20 goals and 9 assists in 49 appearances.

In this way, the Racing academy product became the Argentine with the most goals scored this season. And he can still extend his lead, since Chivu’s team still has three more matches to play: the Coppa Italia final against Lazio on May 13, as well as games against Hellas Verona and Bologna.
