Lautaro Martínez returns in style and devastates Roma with two goals in Inter’s epic 5-2 triumph

The San Siro was the stage yesterday for a true display of class from Argentine forward Lautaro Martínez, who made a glorious return from injury, scoring a decisive brace in Inter Milan’s overwhelming victory over Roma, in a match that left fans ecstatic.

In a game that broke a three-match winless streak in Serie A, Cristian Chivu’s team showcased their offensive prowess once again, propelled by Lautaro’s dazzling performance, who reaffirmed his status as the undeniable leader in the fight for the Scudetto. The Argentine striker opened the scoring just one minute into the match, sending a clear signal of his hunger and determination. This early goal was enough to galvanize Inter, who dominated the game with authority until the final whistle.

But Lautaro was not done yet. Early in the second half, upon the resumption of play after 45 minutes, the forward found the back of the net again, marking his first brace in Serie A since November, in a 2-0 victory against Pisa. This achievement further solidified his status as the league’s top scorer for the 2025/26 season, with an impressive 16 goals, five more than any other striker in Italian football.

Moreover, Lautaro Martínez etched his name in the history of the Serie A by becoming the third Argentine player with the most goals in the Italian championship, surpassing several legends and trailing only Gabriel Batistuta and Hernán Crespo, with a total of 131 accurate strikes in the top transalpine competition.

After the final whistle, Lautaro himself did not hide his excitement about the return: “Happy to be back on the pitch and fighting alongside my teammates,” the star wrote on social media, in a message that quickly went viral among Inter fans and football lovers worldwide.

This triumphant return of Lautaro Martínez not only strengthens Inter’s aspirations for the title but also sends a clear warning to opponents: the Argentine is back, and more dangerous than ever. The Serie A season promises to be even more thrilling with this star in top form.
