No Inter striker partnership in the past 30 years have performed as well as Romelu Lukaku and Lautaro Martinez have this season after 26 games played in a league campaign according to a report in today’s print edition of Italian daily newspaper Tuttosport.
The Belgian and Argentine national team strikers have combined for 30 league goals between them so far this campaign.
In the past 30 years Inter have had strike forces such as Christian Vieri and Adriano, Vieri and Alvaro Recoba, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Julio Cruz, Ronaldo and Youri Djorkaeff as well as Diego Milito and Samuel Eto’o but none of them managed to score as many as Lukaku and Lautaro have managed at this stage of the season.
The report from the Turin based news outlet goes on to state that of the three highest scoring strike forces in Serie A this term, Lukaku and Lautaro’s goals are closest to being equally shared out with Lukaku having scored 18 and Lautaro the other 12.
The same cannot be said for Juventus’ Cristiano Ronaldo and Paulo Dybala. The multi-time world player of the year has 22 whilst Dybala has eight.
Lazio’s Ciro Immobile and Joaquin Correa, who are the top scoring tandem with 34, have the greatest difference with Immobile having netted 27 of those goals.
