— May 19th 2024The thoughts of the Nerazzurri captain after Inter vs. Lazio and on the day the Nerazzurri will lift the Scudetto trophy to the sky
Goalscorer, inspirational figure and captain. Today is no ordinary day for Inter; today is no ordinary day for Lautaro Martinez. Six years after his arrival in Italy, El Toro lifted the Scudetto trophy to the sky, the 20th in Inter's history and thus worth a Second Star. This is what the No.10 had to say immediately after Inter vs. Lazio and before the award ceremony:
“I’ve been so excited to lift this trophy, and it’s a special day. My family are here, as are many Inter fans. We wanted to win today, but Lazio are fighting for the Champions League and are a strong side. I didn’t think I’d achieve such a feat when I arrived at Inter, but so much hard work has been done since that moment, together with my teammates and the staff. We’ve deserved this title and should be proud of what we’ve done this season. There were all sorts of emotions in my heart after the derby. We had the regret of being eliminated from the Coppa Italia and Champions League, and then I thought back to the final last year. All of this could be found in my tears. We’ve achieved this triumph thanks to hard work and sacrifice, and we need to keep it up. Our focus is on the pitch, and we’re calm. Today, we should enjoy the celebrations with the Nerazzurri family and all of those around us. ”
