Lautaro Martinez blasts Inter Milan squad after World Cup defeat to Fluminense
After shock defeat to Fluminense, the Inter captain slams teammates in emotional post-match outburst
Inter Milan’s Club World Cup campaign came crashing down on Monday (30), and no one took the defeat harder than Lautaro Martínez.
The Argentine striker and team captain did not hold back after Inter’s shocking 2-0 loss to Fluminense, a result that eliminated the Champions League finalists in the Round of 16. Speaking to media after the match, Lautaro delivered a fiery message to his squad and hinted at deep frustration behind the scenes.
Lautaro’s Message: “If You Don’t Want to Stay, Leave”
The defeat in Charlotte sparked raw emotions. In his post-match comments, Lautaro criticized the attitude and commitment of some players, making it clear that he won’t tolerate any lack of ambition in the Nerazzurri dressing room.
“I don’t want to lose. Here at Inter, you need to want to stay. We fight for titles. The message is clear: whoever wants to stay, stays. Whoever wants to leave, leaves,” said the captain.
“I’ve seen things I didn’t like. I’m the captain I want this club to stay at the top. If you’re not committed, goodbye.”
The outburst shocked many fans but it also reflected the mounting pressure inside Inter’s locker room following a trophyless season.
Inter Milan’s Season Ends in Disappointment
The loss to Fluminense ended what has been a frustrating season for the Italian giants. After finishing as runners-up in the UEFA Champions League, expectations were high for Simone Inzaghi’s side to bounce back in the Club World Cup.
But the Brazilian champions, led by Jhon Arias and Germán Cano, dominated the match in Charlotte. Inter lacked intensity, creativity, and failed to respond to Fluminense’s tactical control and quick transitions.
Turmoil at Inter? What Lautaro’s Outburst Reveals
Lautaro’s statements fuel speculation that internal tension may be affecting the club’s chemistry. His blunt remarks suggest that some players may be eyeing exits or not fully aligned with the team’s objectives.
Inter fans are now wondering:
- Who is Lautaro referring to?
- Will key players leave this summer?
- Is a squad overhaul coming?
