December 28, 2024 (changed at 9.18pm) – MILANO
Ten games, 54 days, practically two months. It took that long to see Lautaro Martinez celebrate his goal again. A very long curse, atypical for him, exhausting. Which today, thanks to the center found against Cagliari, was finally broken. And to be honest, Toro's matches without a goal were 8, considering that the Argentine had missed the match in Verona due to injury and the stoppage after about a quarter of an hour against Fiorentina. The fact is that, in the last two months, Lautaro had not made a scratch in the league, in the Champions League or even in the Italian cup.

Inter's evening was practically perfect: three goals, three points, Atalanta momentarily tied at the top of the table. Yet, in the first half Lautaro saw the ghosts again: first he devoured the lead a meter away from a practically unprotected goal, then he fell to the provocations of Yerry Mina who with cunning and malice tried to provoke Toro as much as possible. Inzaghi, however, always believed in his captain: “Now the goal comes, now don't worry, it's coming” he repeated to him from the Nerazzurri bench. And so it was: minute number 71 on the clock, Barella collects a ball spat out by the rossoblù defense after a corner and puts it back in for Toro, who stretches and splits to give a heavy goal for Inter and a very heavy one for himself . “I'm happy, the goal is important – underlined the Argentine after the match against Unipol Domus -. As I always say: Inter must win, then if I score even better. But it was an important victory before the Super Cup”. And on the future: “In 2025 we want to win everything. We train for this: to bring trophies to Inter. The important thing is to always do what the coach asks and what the team needs. We are an extraordinary group, we fight for our teammate side by side, this is what we say to each other in the locker room. We must continue like this and make 2025 like 2024.”
