Team
— Sep 20th 2023Lautaro scored Inter's 200th Champions League goal this evening
Gol numero 108 in nerazzurro e gol che vale il pareggio. Lautaro Martinez, con la zampata nel finale, stampa l'1-1 sul campo della Real Sociedad, nella prima giornata del Gruppo D di Champions League. Una rete pesantissima, che regala un punto al termine di un match davvero complicato. E anche una rete che fa registrare un traguardo statistico: si tratta del gol numero 200 segnato dall'Inter in Champions League.
Inoltre Lautaro sale a quota 11 gol con la maglia nerazzurra in Champions League, agganciando al terzo posto Hernán Crespo nella classifica all-time dei marcatori interisti nella competizione, dietro soltanto a Julio Cruz (13) e Adriano (14).
Queste le sue parole nel post-partita.
“We didn’t play well. We started poorly and struggled; we could have done better. I don’t think it was down to fatigue. This is how Real Sociedad play; they pushed high up the pitch, and we didn’t attack the space well. We were getting caught in possession close to our area, and we need to be better with our build-up play from the back. However, the important thing is we were able to come away with a draw. They cause and will continue to cause many teams problems, and this is a complicated group. It’s important that we didn’t lose, and we did well to stay in the game. We really pushed to score an equaliser, but we didn’t play like we can. We need to raise our level.”
