Tonight’s match versus Real Madrid in the Champions League group stage is a chance for Lautaro Martinez to redeem himself according to a report in today’s print edition of Italian daily newspaper Corriere della Sera.
Lautaro started the 2020/21 season in fine form with a goal in each of Inter’s first three games but he has visibly struggled in the time since and is without a goal in several matches now.
Despite clearly being out of form, the absence of Romelu Lukaku due to injury, means Inter manager Antonio Conte is obliged to bet everything on the highly rated 23-year-old striker, who will pair Ivan Perisic up front against Los Blancos in the match that will be played at the Alfredo Di Stefano stadium.
The report goes on to explain that Inter do not need a miracle to beat Real Madrid tonight but do need to take complete advantage of the chances that they will create and take advantage of Real Madrid’s poor form with Zinedine Zidane’s side having lost three of their last five games.
