Still just 27 years old, Lautaro Martinez has already achieved what many players dream of achieving in football.
Over the past few seasons, Lautaro Martinez has firmly cemented his place among the most successful and consistent forwards in world football. With his relentless work ethic, technical flair and scoring instincts, the Argentine striker has played a pivotal role in both Inter Milan’s dominance in Italy and Argentina’s resurgence on the international stage.
Having burst onto the European scene with Inter in 2018 following his move from Racing Club, Lautaro has since racked up an impressive 151 goals in 330 appearances for the Nerazzurri. His impact has been nothing short of transformative. He has become the complete package at Inter – an attacking engine and a leader in crucial moments.
Notably, Lautaro became the first foreign player to score 150 goals for Inter. He overtook the legendary Roberto Boninsegna and equalled his Argentinian compatriot Hernan Crespo’s tally for the most goals scored in a Champions League campaign with nine goals in the ongoing season.

On the international front, his influence has grown steadily. Since his debut for Argentina in 2018, Martinez has earned over 70 caps and scored 32 goals, often leading the Argentina attack with great intensity and composure.
Yes, Lautaro Martinez is a FIFA World Cup winner.
He was part of Argentina’s historic squad that clinched the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. While Lionel Messi rightfully grabbed most of the headlines, Martinez played a key role throughout the qualification and tournament campaign, providing depth and tenacity in the final third.
Despite entering the tournament with an ankle injury, he started the first two matches but was later replaced in the starting XI by Julian Alvarez. Though he didn’t score during the tournament, MartInez played a vital role off the bench, most notably converting the decisive penalty in the shootout win over the Netherlands in the quarter-finals. He also featured as a substitute in the final against France, helping Argentina secure their historic World Cup triumph. His achievements at the World Cup firmly placed him among the elite group of Argentines who have conquered football’s biggest stage.
