Ciro Immobile has returned as king in the twenty-fourth day of Serie A, where he was expected to break the deadlock against Cagliari. The match was important not only for the fate of Lazio in the league, but also because in case of a goal, a round figure would have arrived for number 17. And so it was. At minute 50, goal number 200 arrived for Immobile who was ready on a rebound from Scuffet.

The Goal

In that action, in fact, the striker from Torre Annunziata threw himself on the save of the Sardinian goalkeeper, who had managed to deny the joy of the goal to Isaksen. The Danish striker, after receiving the ball at the edge of the area, shoots on goal with his left foot choking the shot. The power is not such as to worry the former Udinese goalkeeper, but Immobile signs the temporary 2-0 with a shot from a deflected position.

The Beginnings

The striker scored his first goal in 2012, when just over twenty-two, he scored on his debut in Serie A with Genoa. In the previous season he had been noticed with Pescara and the griffins had decided to bring him to the top Italian series. On August 26 of that year, against Cagliari, Ciro celebrated his first goal in the league.

His performances with the Rossoblu attracted the attention of Torino, who decided to buy him for just under 14 million in the 2013/2014 season. With the Granata shirt he scores 22 goals in Serie A and becomes the top scorer of the season, without scoring penalties, ahead of Luca Toni and Carlos Tevez. His talent also goes abroad with moves to Borussia Dortmund and Sevilla who in January 2015 send him back on loan to Torino where he scores 5 goals in 6 months.

With the Lazio shirt

The following season he is bought by Lazio for less than 10 million and in his first season in white and sky blue he scores 23 goals. In the 2017/2018 season, he scores 29 goals winning the title of top scorer together with Icardi, while the following championship he stops at 15 goals. In the 2019/2020 season, 36 goals arrive, which put him at the top of the Serie A top scorer list for the third time in his career. In the '20/'21 season he reaches 20 goals, while in '21/'22 he scores 27 goals bringing home the title of best scorer in Serie A for the fourth time. Last season, however, he scored "only" 12 goals and in the current one he is at 5 goals.
