Inter, Lautaro makes history: first to score in 7 straight UCLs | OneFootball

The Argentine captain joins the club of European superstars alongside Mbappé, Haaland, and Griezmann. With his brace against Slavia, he reaches 23 goals in the top competition.

Inter, Lautaro makes history: first Nerazzurri player to score in seven consecutive editions of the Champions League

Lautaro Martínez continues to write unforgettable pages in Inter’s history. With the brace scored against Slavia Prague, the Argentine striker has become the first Nerazzurri player ever to score in seven consecutive editions of the Champions League, a feat previously achieved only by superstars of the caliber of Kylian Mbappé, Erling Haaland, and Antoine Griezmann.

This milestone certifies the captain’s impact in the most prestigious competition in Europe, where he has already reached 23 goals, part of an overall tally of 159 goals in an Inter shirt.

Lautaro in the Nerazzurri history books

The European record adds to another personal achievement reached just a few days ago in Serie A. In Cagliari, in fact, Lautaro scored his 117th league goal for Inter, surpassing Sandro Mazzola and claiming fifth place outright in the all-time Nerazzurri top scorers ranking.

Ahead of him remain only sacred legends such as Giuseppe Meazza, Benito Lorenzi, István Nyers, and Alessandro Altobelli: a pantheon of legends in which Lautaro has now firmly earned his place.

The hunger for goals and leadership

Absent at the European season debut against Ajax, Lautaro immediately bounced back, showing his usual determination. Against Slavia, he first took advantage of a mistake in the opponents’ build-up, then converted a perfect cross from Bastoni.

Two goals that not only consolidated his status as the undisputed leader of the team but also reiterated a clear concept: to dream big, Inter will once again have to rely on the goals and charisma of their captain.

Lautaro is no longer just the technical driving force of the team: he has also become the symbol of the Inter project, a point of reference for his teammates and for the fans. Yet another European record confirms that his name is now firmly associated with the greats of continental football.
