Inter Milan Captain Gears Up For His 21st Appearance Vs Juventus | OneFootball

Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez will face Juventus for the 21st time in his career as the arch-rivals renew hostilities on Saturday.

According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, El Toro has faced no opposition more often than the Bianconeri.

Despite his commitments to Argentina and a late return to Italy, Lautaro Martinez will likely spearhead Inter’s attack this weekend.

Indeed, the 28-year-old will return to Milan on Friday.

Therefore, he will be the last Nerazzurri star to come back from international duty.

El Toro has faced Juventus 20 times since joining Inter from Racing Club in 2018.

However, he laments a negative record against the Turin outfit, racking up six wins while losing eight times.

Still, there’s a silver lining.

Indeed, Inter’s only away win over Juventus in that stretch came after April’s international break in 2022.

Though it wasn’t Lautaro to score the winning goal, it’s an encouragement, nonetheless.

Furthermore, the Argentine striker netted in his last appearance against Juventus immediately after the break.
