Lautaro Martinez scored a brilliant volley to give Inter Milan a 1-0 win over Sparta Prague, taking his tally to 14 Champions League goals, tying Adriano as the club's all-time top scorer in the competition.

The win put Inter on the brink of qualifying for the round of 16, needing just a point against Monaco next week. Martinez, in fine form with five goals in his last seven games, praised the milestone, citing the great players in Inter's history.

Inter dominated possession (69.5%) and created several chances, though Denzel Dumfries had a goal disallowed for offside. Martinez reflected on his hard work and perseverance, especially after a six-game scoring drought, and emphasized the importance of continued effort.
