Lautaro Martinez, who is considered ‘world class’, is serving as a source of inspiration for a formidable Inter team that is living up to their reputation as favorites in Serie A.

Inter Milan extended their remarkable streak by securing a commanding 3-0 triumph against Napoli at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. This victory stands as Inter’s largest winning margin in Naples since 1977 and further cements their status as strong contenders for the Serie A title.

The game was anticipated as a clash between the current champions and the presumptive champions, and Inter certainly lived up to the expectations. Despite enduring relentless pressure in the initial half, they displayed unwavering resilience and netted two exceptional goals, ultimately sealing their triumph with a third goal in the dying moments of the match. The triumph highlighted the exceptional talent within the Inter squad and reaffirmed why they were the top choice for the Scudetto by many experts before the season began.

One notable change for Inter this year has been their ability to begin matches with great strength. In the previous season, they faced difficulties early on and found themselves trying to catch up to the dominant leaders, Napoli. However, in this season, Inter has been remarkable in their away matches, with a record of six victories and only two goals conceded, the best performance among the top-five leagues in Europe. They have also delivered impressive displays in crucial matches, such as a resounding 5-1 victory against their rivals Milan, as well as triumphs against Atalanta, Roma, and now Napoli. The influence of reaching the Champions League final last season should not be underestimated. It has injected the team with a fresh sense of power and self-assurance. Previously, Inter’s chances of winning the title were often ruined by instances of irrationality, but this season they have displayed greater poise and command. Furthermore, Coach Simone Inzaghi has developed and adapted to the demands that come with overseeing a prominent team like Inter, effectively managing the pressure.

Additionally, Inter’s proficiency in swiftly integrating their new recruits has played a pivotal role in their triumph. In spite of the absence of important players such as Andre Onana, Milan Skriniar, and Romelu Lukaku, the substitutes, notably goalkeeper Yann Sommer and free agent Marcus Thuram, have impressed with their early-season performances. Thuram has already made a significant impact with five goals and six assists, a feat unmatched by any other forward in Serie A. The team’s strength in depth has enabled Inter to seamlessly compete in various competitions without any drop in performance.

Taking the lead for Inter is the exceptional striker Lautaro Martinez, who is currently in the best form of his career. Since arriving at Inter in 2018, Martinez has consistently delivered goals, and this season he has already found the back of the net 13 times in 14 Serie A matches. His partnership with Thuram has developed into a seemingly psychic connection, resulting in Martinez leading the Serie A scoring leaderboard while Thuram dominates the assists category. Martinez’s remarkable performances have not gone unnoticed, as Inter legend Alessandro Altobelli believes that with another significant trophy, the striker could potentially secure the prestigious Ballon d’Or award. As Inter continue their pursuit of the title, their attention now shifts to their upcoming game against Lazio, which happens to be Inzaghi’s former team and last season’s second-place finishers. If they manage to leave Rome without any harm, they will maintain their undefeated record in all their most important matches by the middle of the season. With Juventus and AC Milan following closely behind, every game holds great significance for Inter as they strive to clinch their first Serie A championship since 2010.
