The clash at the Stadio Olimpico against Fiorentina showcased the spirited nature of the game right from the start.

A well-placed cross from Jonathan Ikone floated into the area, enabling Gonzalez to find the back of the net at the far post.
As the season approaches its climax, Lautaro Martinez's exceptional performances and goal-scoring ability have established him as a key figure for Inter Milan. With his contribution and determination, Martinez aims to continue delivering success for the club as they strive to maintain their winning momentum.
