‘When It Rains, It Pours’ – Inter Milan Captain Back To Consistent Best In Front Of Goal With Champions League Heroics | OneFootball

Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez proved to be back to his best with his Champions League heroics against Sparta Prague.

This is the view in today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews.

It’s no secret that Inter captain Martinez was not at his best over the first half of the season.

At first, the problem was a blatant lack of physical condition. The Copa America in the summer made it impossible for the 27-year-old to have a proper preseason to get into condition.

Then as the weeks went by, Martinez started to look fresher and sharper on a fitness level.

However, some glaring misses in front of goal suggested a lack of rhythm from the Argentine, usually very prolific for Inter.

Over the last few weeks, however, Martinez has really found his scoring touch.

And since the Inter captain has started to find his way back onto the scoresheet, he has found that “when it rains, it pours.”

Martinez had also played a decisive role in Inter’s win over Empoli in Serie A on Sunday.

And against Sparta Prague yesterday, the Argentine was the difference.

Martinez’s impudent finish to put Inter ahead early on was the kind of moment of inspiration that it would be hard to imagine a player who wasn’t full of confidence pulling off.

And that is certainly a good sign for Inter. For Martinez, this kind of streak of inspiration could be coming at just the right time.
