Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez feels that the Nerazzurri have taken a big step by beating Juventus in Serie A.
The Argentine spoke to InterTV after the team won the Derby d’Italia by a 1-0 scoreline, via FCInterNews, emphasizing the significance of the match for the team’s season.
Inter are still a long way away from getting their hands on the Serie A title.
But this evening’s victory over Juventus did certainly feel like it was an important juncture.
The Nerazzurri are now four points clear of the Bianconeri at the top of the table.
And with the game in hand that Inter have, that feels like a real advantage. And breathing room.
Having failed to beat Juventus in the last three league meetings, Inter got a statement win this evening at the San Siro.
Even by a scoreline of just 1-0, the Nerazzurri have certainly taken a step forwards.
Inter Captain Lautaro Martinez: Win Over Juventus Three Big Points

“It was important for our path for us to bring these three points home. To stay on the right path that we’ve been on from the beginning.”
“I’m very happy,” he added.

“It means greater responsibility,” the Argentine continued.
“I’ve always done my best for Inter,” Martinez continued. “Transmitting the values of the club to my teammates.”
“I learned many of these things as a child from my father,” he reflected.
“Then, we’ve created a brilliant group,” Martinez said.
“I’m happy to be here, train, work, and always try and work towards out goals,” the Inter captain added.
