The Inter striker is having the best season of his career so far: goals and assists assured for Inzaghi.
He golden ball It will probably be a two-way race between Leo Messi and Erling Haaland, but the race for the podium is not over yet and could bring some surprises.
One of the competitors for noble places in the ranking of the best football players in the world could be Lautaro Martinez.
El Toro is having the best season of his career so far.
The Argentine striker’s football year had started with fairly linear goal averages, but things changed radically from January.
In Qatar, Lautaro did not score and little by little he lost his place against Julian Alvarezbut still contributed significantly to Argentina’s third World Cup conquest by scoring one of the penalties in the quarter-final against the Netherlands.
However, upon returning to Italy, the goal-scoring feeling returned. Thanks to the absence of SkrinianLautaro became Inter’s captain, scored successively and, despite the difficult moments, became the fundamental axis of Inzaghi’s strategies.
Now, with qualification for the next Champions League in his pocket, thanks to the victory over Atalanta (a game in which Martínez scored for the 21st time in the League), he only thinks about June 10 and the final against City.
There, face-to-face against Erling Haaland, the first of his career, we’ll see who is most likely to undermine Messi, who was declared champion of France for the second time in a row (himself on a similar note to Dani Alves, the player with more story titles).
If Inter won the fourth Champions League in their history (and the third title of the season after the Super Cup and the Italian Cup), then the chances of seeing Lautaro Martínez on the Ballon d’Or podium could be much higher . , especially if he manages to reach Osimhen at the top of the scoring table on the last day of Serie A.
In short, a fiery 2023 could become historic for Lautaro Martínez, for Inter and for Italian football in general.
