Lautaro Martínez’s volley in Inter win: the record vs Julián Álvarez | OneFootball

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

With three rounds left in Serie A, Lautaro Martínez won his third Scudetto wearing the Inter shirt. The season for Cristian Chivu’s side was excellent, at least domestically, and they thus 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 striker born in Bahía Blanca took advantage of the match 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 a brace. And so he reached 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 recovers 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 widen the gap, since Chivu’s side 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.
