The forward is the first for Lazio to score in 9 consecutive official matches. With four more goals he would join the coach as the club’s top European scorer in Europe
When there is and when there is not. Ciro Immobile always shows. As it should be for a champion. Yesterday was also decisive. His goal, from a penalty (he scored 39 in biancoceleste, more than anyone else) allowed Lazio to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League. It hasn’t happened since 2000. It hasn’t happened for 20 years. And only the strongest Lazio did. Now also the Ciro Immobile.
The numbers
–
With the goal in Bruges, among other things, Immobile also broke other records. He is the first for Lazio to score in 9 consecutive official matches (the record, which has lasted since 1923, belonged to Fulvio Bernardini). Since joining Lazio, Immobile has scored or assisted in every home game played in international competitions: yesterday he has 12 goals and 4 assists in 11 appearances. He is also only the third Italian to score in his first four season appearances in a single Champions League season (the first was Del Piero in 1995-96 as well as 1997-98 and the last Filippo Inzaghi in 2002-03. ). In all of Lazio’s history, only Simone Inzaghi has scored more goals than Immobile in a single edition of the top European competition (9 the current coach, while Immobile is 5). With four more goals Ciro would match his coach in two other firsts: that of the best European scorer in the club’s history (they are 20 to 16) and that of the best scorer in a single edition of the Champions League. Yesterday, however, Immobile, went beyond the numbers: just left Lazio suffered a 2-2 and entered into great difficulties. Proof that he is also the charismatic leader of the team. And that Ciro always shows: when he is and when he is not.
