Rome, Oct 21
After scoring a decisive goal in Inter Milan's 1-0 win over Roma at the Olimpico, captain Lautaro Martinez has etched his name into the club's history, becoming the foreign player with the most goals for the Serie A club with 133 goals in 291 appearances.
However, the Inter skipper who scored his first goal in September 2018, placed seventh among the club's all-time top scorers, alongside a legend Istvan Nyers.
"This new record means a lot to me. Since I arrived, I've been treated as if I were born here. This is something very valuable to me. I need to keep working, just like we have been doing," Lautaro said.
"The most beautiful goal I've scored for Inter is my first one, a header at San Siro against Cagliari. That goal opened the door to everything that's followed. I've talked a lot with Messi during national duty, but not about the Ballon d'Or. I'm also happy for the national team’s current form and because he’s back playing with us," he added.
