Once again, the signature has been put by Lautaro Martinez. The Argentine striker has sealed the victory of Inter against Fiorentina, bringing the nerazzurri back to the top of the standings with one more game to recover. This is the 19th goal of El Toro in the championship which, thanks to yesterday's signature at the Franchi, has reached 124 goals (in all competitions) with Inter's jersey, tying Mauro Icardi for eighth place in the club's all-time scorer's standings.

Fiorentina-Inter 0-1, the usual Lautaro Martinez decides. Nico Gonzalez misses a penalty, Inzaghi surpasses Juve at the top

Lautaro has overtaken a sacred monster like Bobo Vieri (123 goals) and now has only seven strikers ahead of him. The seventh place is currently held by Nyres (133 goals) which is 9 goals away, easily reachable by Martinez in this second part of the season. El Toro has always shown not to pay too much attention to personal numbers, but especially to those of the team. Often over the years he has been a second fiddle, supporting center forwards like Icardi, Lukaku and Dzeko. Over the seasons, however, his status has grown exponentially, thanks to the World Cup victory with Argentina and the Champions League final reached with Inter.

Now he is the first violin of Inter and Marcus Thuram has arrived as the ideal partner to highlight the qualities of the Argentine. The nerazzurro captain is already writing an important page in the history of the nerazzurro club and the scoring numbers are a concrete testament to his growth.
