The player has scored this number of goals in a calendar year and has surpassed the former Inter strikers. His thoughts go to his city after a tragedy that resulted in 13 deaths.
And here comes the overtaking. With the goal scored against Lazio at the Olimpico, Lautaro Martinez has reached 29 goals in the span of a calendric year. He had recently equaled Vieri and Milito, who, in 2001 and 2012, had each scored a maximum of 28 goals in a single year wearing the Nerazzurri jersey. Yesteday, he has surpassed them, establishing a new record in Inter’s history as the player with most goals scored in one year in the 21st century..
The player capitalized on a mistake from Marusic, a backward pass intended for the goalkeeper, scoring his 15th goal in Serie A this season (17 in total, considering the 2 goals in the Champions League).
His goal dedication was special. Under his jersey, he wore a white one with the inscription ‘Fuerza Bahia Blanca,’ the Argentine city where he was born and lived. In the past few hours, during a storm, the roof of a sports arena where a skating competition was taking place collapsed, resulting in the tragic death of 13 people.”
