“You should also remember that I’ve always given my all for Inter, like in the World Cup season,” wrote Lautaro.

“My ankle was destroyed, and while others prepared for a great World Cup, I was always on the pitch and never missed a training session. I played all the games until the Champions League Final. ALWAYS remember it before mentioning who pays me.”

The fan cancelled his comment following Lautaro Martinez’s reply, but other Inter fans commented on the same post to defend their captain.

Lautaro Martinez has six goals and four assists in 15 appearances across all competitions this season, but he is still not as consistent as last term when he became the best scorer in Serie A with 24 goals.

Lautaro inspired Inter’s Scudetto victory in 2023-24, lifting the trophy in his first season as the team’s captain.

The 27-year-old striker ranked 7th in the 2024 Ballon d’Or. His contract at the Stadio Meazza runs out in June 2029.
