#4 Lautaro Martinez's killer form

The Argentine forward has been in sublime form for club and country, but this season he's made it count in the Champions League for Inter Milan. Martinez has scored three times in four games for Inter in the competition this season.

That tally feels even more impressive considering the group Inter have been slotted into. Martinez spent the entire game running the channels and trying to provide an outlet for his team. This is an important function in the Antonio Conte system.

He showed his ability not only to score goals but also to participate effectively in the build up as he picked out Antonio Candreva with a superb cross-field pass and the wing-back would lay the ball off to Vecino for Inter's second goal of the night. It was poetry in motion and Martinez was at the heart of it all.

When Inter struggled in the second half, he didn't see much of the ball and started to get dragged deeper, but regained his spirit once again towards the end of the 90 minutes.
