ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Inter Milan forward Lautaro Martinez is hoping to finish the best season of his career on a high by helping his side win their fourth Champions League title against Manchester City on Saturday to pair it with his World Cup triumph with Argentina.
The 25-year-old striker said he is over the injury problems he has had over the course of a long season and is looking forward to completing a dream campaign.
"These are the most important matches in the world of soccer and all players want to play them. The sensations are the same and we are prepared to the play game that we have to. After a difficult start to the year, going through a goalless 10-game stretch, Martinez has scored 11 goals in the last 13 games, including in the semi-final second leg against city rivals AC Milan.
"We know that Manchester City are very tough rivals to face, for the quality they have. But we've done our job and we're ready for the task," Martinez said.
