Lautaro Martinez, the 26-year-old Argentinian striker, spoke to UEFA’s official website ahead of another European final with Inter Milan against Paris Saint-Germain. Drawing on his recent experiences – the Champions League final in Istanbul and the world title in Qatar – he shares his emotions and his desire to savour every moment, while recalling the importance of this meeting for the Lombardy club.
Martinez “It’s sure to be an incredible thrill”.
“It’s sure to be an incredible thrill. Incredible, because I experienced the final in Istanbul and the World Cup final in Qatar, and those are unique moments that stay with you forever.
So I think playing in another final is a new stage in this competition and it will be incredible. It’s a dream that will be just around the corner. And I don’t even want to think about whether or not we’ll achieve this goal that everyone wants and that Inter have been missing for so long.
I really want to enjoy it, savour the moment, this final, this match. Then, if it comes to fruition, it will be a dream come true.”
Experience is important in this kind of event, but we mustn’t underestimate the small step it takes to win a major title. The Milanese and Parisian players who don’t know this feeling (of victory) are ready to significantly increase their palmares.
This match can change the careers of players from either team. The players must make the most of this moment, but be careful not to miss out. In the end, there will only be one victor and one disappointment, but no one can criticize these two teams who have had a fantastic run.
