Our captain tells his story in the latest original production by Inter: “In Arte Lautaro”

The Inter Milan captain tells the tale of his best moments: the film is available on YouTube.

What is art? What elevates a mere artist to a master? These are questions that, for centuries, have been posed by men and women in every era in their attempts to communicate through creative expression, which generates feeling and previously unknown emotion.

If football is a sport which resembles art, it’s down to a select few extraordinary players. Throughout his career, Lautaro Javier Martínez has shown time and time again that he belongs in that category of footballing artists, the inner circle of players who have produced timeless masterpieces for fans across the globe. A film that tells the story of Lautaro's professional life through artistic figurative languages, thanks to the masterpieces provided by the Inter captain on the field. True masterpieces which are at the base of an innovative method of communication.

Lautaro’s career at Inter Milan is comparable to an artist’s creative evolution, which is the sum of works that mark the various periods of his time at the Club, leading up to some hitherto unimaginable achievements. As such, art drives the narrative of an emotional film, which is narrated in first person by the Nerazzurri’s captain. 

Lautaro Martínez guides Inter Milan fans and football aficionados through an art gallery, in which the works portray some of the most important moments of his career in the beautiful game.

The narrative is split into four main themes: The first brush strokes, The choice of the colours, The portrait of a champion, and Together for new masterpieces.

This journey has seen Lautaro become Inter Milan’s highest-ever foreign goalscorer and the player with the most goals in the European Cup/Champions League for the Club. 

It’s a tale that will take you through his time with the Nerazzurri, the key moments in his development as a player, and the fundamental role played by his family. 

There is also a projection of his future achievements and masterpieces yet to be added to his portfolio.

“When we talk about Lautaro, we’re talking about a young talent who became a man and a champion. Given that we are making this comparison with art, Van Gogh’s “The Starry Night” springs to mind, because it bridges the gap that extraordinary year when we won our Second Star. I would say the most accurate picture is this: a great player who knows the meaning of hard work, the meaning of belonging, the meaning of love for these colours. These are traits that make him our captain and our leader. We’re talking about an exceptional person, player and man”

“Before the derby when we won the Scudetto, I told the boys we had 90 minutes to make history. And we did. I had all this emotion going through my head when the referee blew the final whistle. We had achieved our main goal: the Second Star. Even though it took a while to get there, I’d do it all again. Wearing the armband is so important for a player, even more so at a Club like Inter. For me, having come here from Argentina, getting to the top of the Duomo is so special. Milano is my home because I feel like I was born here. I’ve changed since the birth of my first daughter, Nina; it’s like I’ve been reborn. I give my all every day, and I don’t think about what might happen. I’m becoming a better man, a better father, and a better husband. I expect to keep winning trophies with Inter; once you’ve won your first, you want to keep doing it”
