Lautaro: "A win I dedicate to Pavard"
Team
— Nov 4th 2023El Toro dedicated his twelfth goal of the season to the Frenchman, who was forced off with a first-half injury
His twelfth of the season to extend his lead in the goalscoring charts. Lautaro Martinez, yet again. And what a finish it was against Atalanta in Bergamo. After Inter's 2-1 victory, El Toro dedicated his wonderful goal to Benjamin Pavard, who was forced off during the first half.
“We knew we were facing a team that hadn’t conceded at home. We didn’t start off well in the opening 20 minutes, but we managed to take the lead and then started to play with more composure. We’ve won following a mature display and after managing our lead well in the second half. I’m trying to work hard and grow in every respect. We practise shots from distance a lot; Calhanoglu does it, as does Mkhitaryan and everyone else. The important thing is to win, and that’s the reason I’m happy. The Serie A Golden Boot is important, but I try to help the team and make sacrifices even when I don’t score. I’d like to dedicate this victory to Pavard. He’s a wonderful guy and possesses real quality. We hope that his injury isn’t too severe.”

Matteo Darmian also made a vital contribution, winning the penalty for the opening goal after a wonderful pass from Hakan Calhanoglu:
“Every now and then, we try out different solutions in training to get into the opposition box. I saw there was space to run into, and Calha played a fantastic through ball. I did all that I could to get there first and it went well; we managed to open the scoring in a difficult game. Playing for such an important Club as Inter is a real pleasure, and it’s only normal that there’s so much competition for places. However, we have many matches ahead of us and want to do as well as possible, so everyone will get playing time. I make myself available to the team, and I’m delighted to have the confidence of my teammates and the Club. ”
