Lautaro Martinez and the alleged crisis: the Taurus’ numbers are clear

In recent days, many have told of a Lautaro Martinez in crisis. After failing to find the’appointment with the goal for four Serie A matches in a row, the Toro took the field against Kairat with the desire to shut up all the critics and, listening to the advice of his coach Chivu, get back to smiling.

Say, done. Ithe Nerazzurri captain unlocked the delicate match with the Kazakh team with a goal of grit and determination. The best possible response to those who questioned his qualities, speaking, precisely, of a real crisis.

The goal scored against Kairat was number 160 with the Nerazzurri jersey. Above all, it is the 25th in the Champions League. To date, only Lionel Messi (129 goals) and Sergio Aguero (41) have scored more than Toro in Europe’s top competition.

There is an even more interesting statistic that speaks volumes about how decisive Lautaro Martinez is. The Argentine has reached 12 goals in Europe in 2025. To date, no one has scored more than him. In short, the statistics about him certainly do not suggest a player who has lost his way in goal. This is evidenced by the fact that Chivu has never really bothered.
