“I’d like to thank Paris Saint-Germain for the confidence they have shown in me. I will give everything to help my new team go as far as possible in all competitions. Paris Saint-Germain has become an international football powerhouse, attracting some of the greatest players in recent years.

“The momentum is strong in Paris, ambitions are high and I am sure that we have everything here to go even further. And I’m really looking forward to playing at the Parc des Princes, a stadium famous for its beauty and passion!”

Lautaro Martinez scores for Inter in 2-1 win vs. Cagliari

Lautaro Martinez scored for Inter in their 2-1 win against Cagliari.

The Argentina man scored the opening goal but not without controversy. Lautaro headed the ball to give Inter the 1-0 lead but different replays showed that he may have been offside. The goal stood and Inter would go on to win the match.

Speaking to Inter TV after the game, here’s what he had to say:

“My first goal at San Siro also came against Cagliari, I’m happy with today’s goal but the most important thing is that we won, because getting a result against this team is never easy and winning also brings the confidence to continue the season in the best way possible.”

“Last season we played with a different system, I think that the team has more confidence playing with two strikers, there are more players in the opposition area and this is important because it creates so many more chances to score.”
