Despite his patchy form at the beginning of the season, Lautaro Martinez remains one of the fiercest strikers in the Champions League.
Indeed, El Toro has netted four goals in four continental appearances this season.
On the other hand, Marcus Thuram is firing on all cylinders since recovering from a long-term hamstring injury.

In addition to Lautaro and Thuram, Ange-Yoan Bonny and Francesco Pio Esposito have been in scintillating form this season.
For context, the two backup strikers have combined for eight goals, bringing the Nerazzurri’s total to a jaw-dropping 27.
Meanwhile, Liverpool’s lucrative summer investments have yet to pay off, with Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak still unable to settle at Anfield.
Therefore, the under-pressure Dutchman is likely to turn to Hugo Ekitike to fill the vacant spot in attack.
