“True, if I’m not mistaken this is the first time that we are in front of everyone. This must be a starting point, we must no longer leave the top spot.
“Sunday is the derby, if we want to stay there we have to work and do what we are doing,” said Lautaro when asked if this was a turning point in the title race.
Martinez scored the goal to seal the win and make the score 3-1, his partner Lukaku scored Inter’s first two goals in tonight’s game.

“Yes, I wasn’t well before because I was a little tired. Now I’ve done some recovery work and I’m always ready for when the coach wants to send me on the pitch” added Martinez on his current form.
