Arsenal legend, Thierry Henry, has criticized Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez for his performance. During his team’s UEFA Champions League final 1-0 defeat against Manchester City over the weekend.
In the second half of the game, Martinez committed the mistake of squandering a glaring opportunity that might have altered the outcome of the Champions League final. Rodri’s spectacular second-half strike ultimately led Inter Milan to lose 1-0 to the Premier League champions in Turkey.
The fact that Inter Milan failed to take advantage of the several opportunities that were presented to them. However, was fortunate for Man City. One of the key plays of the game involved Martinez. Missing a straightforward pass to a teammate who was about to rush him.
However, the World Cup champion of Argentina decided to go for gold and had Ederson of Manchester City block his shot.
Martinez didn’t pass the ball to a teammate when he had an opportunity, Henry stated. Pep Guardiola, the manager of Man City, knelt in prayer.
“I will go back to the one with Lautaro Martinez, I am sorry, you have to cross. Not only one time, two times, three times, four times, and five times. The only solution you have is to cross. It would have been a different game, now he has to sleep with that one,” Henry told CBS Sports.
“Akanji let the ball go thinking the goalkeeper was going to get it – If Martinez recomposed himself and you really take your time to see Brozovic at the top of the box. Lukaku is with Ruben Dias, so it’s difficult to play him. If he kept his composure, then he would have seen Brozovic and it’s a tap-in. It is a tap-in.
“But he decided he had to score and not Inter Milan had to score. You don’t always have to score, the team has to score. Pep (Guardiola) was on his knees praying.”
