Inter captain Lautaro Martinez draws level with Aguero

Inter captain Lautaro Martinez has reached 42 goals for Argentina, drawing level with Sergio Aguero as the Selección’s third-highest scorer.

FCInterNews reported the milestone after the striker continued his strong scoring form for Argentina. The 42-goal tally puts Lautaro alongside Aguero in the national team rankings, with Gabriel Batistuta next ahead on 54.

For the Nerazzurri captain, the landmark adds another measure of his impact beyond club football. Lautaro’s standing at Inter is already central to his role in the side; matching Aguero’s Argentina total gives that leadership profile a significant international marker, too.

The gap to Batistuta is the next clear reference point in the table. Lionel Messi remains further ahead, although FCInterNews did not specify his total in its report. Lautaro and Aguero now share third place, while Batistuta’s 54 goals set the figure directly above them.

Lautaro’s next Argentina scoring landmark

That ranking makes the 12-goal difference between Lautaro’s current tally and Batistuta’s record the standout number. It marks a substantial target, rather than a milestone already within reach on the basis of this achievement alone.

For Inter, the result is a notable addition to the résumé of their captain. Lautaro’s 42 goals place him among Argentina’s leading scorers, and the record reinforces his continued relevance to the national side without changing his status at club level.

His place alongside Aguero is now established; Batistuta’s 54 remains the next benchmark identified by FCInterNews. The milestone gives Inter supporters a clear measure of how far their captain has climbed in Argentina’s historical scoring rankings.
