Lautaro Martinez has not scored goals for Argentina for more than a year and, believe it or not, he is the top scorer in the Italian Serie A with 16 goals in the middle of the season (19 games played), which makes an average of almost one goal per game. These are huge figures that continue to deserve to continue to be called by Lionel Scaloni to represent his country in all tournaments ahead.

With the goal scored today against Hellas Verona in a 2-1 home win on the hour, Internazionale stretched its lead at the top of the league to five points ahead of Juventus. The Vecchia Signora now have 48 points to the 43 of the Vecchia Signora, who will play tomorrow at 14:00 Argentine time against bottom club Salernitana. The mission is the three points to stay within reach of the Neroazzurro.

Because he is the captain of the Italian team, his absence was felt by his teammates who, despite his absence, returned after two dates absent due to a minor injury that sidelined him at the end of last year. But now back in the starting lineup, El Toro made his mark in the net after 13 minutes and his goal had a double relevance due to a simple and logical reason.

Why Bahia's goal was key for Argentina's National Team

According to Diario Registrado, Lautaro scored the first Argentine goal in 2024, counting all the regular players called up by Scaloni for each FIFA double date. The striker of the Argentine national team once again showed his goal-scoring ability to quickly unlock a home game to keep Inter at the top of the Italian league. The result allows Inter to remain at the top of Serie A and become winter champions, an honorary title for the team that finishes top after the first round. Will there be more of the Toro's sacred screams this year like today's?
