Lautaro Martinez ready for ‘fascinating’ Inter-Napoli Scudetto fight

Inter captain Lautaro Martinez is anticipating a thrilling Scudetto race with Napoli after leading his team to a 3-1 victory over Empoli. Martinez broke the deadlock with a stunning long-range goal, followed by strikes from Denzel Dumfries and Marcus Thuram.

His passionate celebration reflected frustration from a recent draw with Bologna, which felt like "two points dropped."

Now with 111 Serie A goals, matching Mauro Icardi as Inter's top foreign scorer behind Stefano Nyers, Martinez emphasized his commitment to improvement and inspiring teammates.

The win places Inter three points behind Napoli, who have a game in hand. Despite setbacks like their Supercoppa Italiana loss to Milan, Martinez remains focused on leading Inter to greater consistency and success in the title race.
