Lautaro Martinez painted his long-awaited return from injury with flying colors as Inter Milan thrashed Roma on Easter Sunday.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, El Toro excelled in his first Serie A start since mid-February.
Cristian Chivu’s side failed to meet expectations before the international break, picking up just one win in six games without their captain.
Furthermore, the 28-year-old’s absence had seen the Nerazzurri go three consecutive league matches without a win for the first time since 2023.
However, Lautaro Martinez impressed on his return, engineering Inter’s scintillating 5-2 win over top-four hopefuls Roma on Sunday.

Despite being in the pits for over a month, El Toro needed less than 60 seconds to open the scoring.
Moreover, the Argentine striker completed his first Serie A brace since November at the start of the second half.
Indeed, his second goal landed a knockout blow on Roma, effectively shutting down the visitors’ comeback hopes.
Meanwhile, Lautaro’s return inspired Marcus Thuram to produce his best performance of 2026.
Having gone five straight league outings without scoring, the Frenchman scored once and delivered two assists.
