Inter Milan Lautaro Martinez has issued a warning to Sevilla ahead of Friday’s Europa League final, saying the Italian side are ‘ready for great things’.
Martinez who scored a brace as his side whipped Shakhtar Donetsk 5-0 in the semi-final on Monday stated this when speaking with Sky Sport.
He said: ‘It was an incredible night, the kind we dreamed of,’ the striker told Sky Sport Italia after the game.
“It had been a long time since I played that well, and in a semi-final we proved Inter are ready for great things. We’re ready for the final.
“These goals give me so much, as there was a period when I wasn’t at my usual levels, but this experience helps you to grow. I am very happy with the way the team is playing and showing such character.
“We’re getting better game by game and I am happy on a personal level too, as I am going to have my first child, so I dedicate the goals to my wife and family.
“We just keep getting stronger, showing maturity with both young players and more experienced ones like Samir Handanovic, Danilo D’Ambrosio and Diego Godin. They point the way and we all follow.”
Friday’s final will take place at Cologne in Germany.
