An interesting performance comparison between two world-class strikers emerged from statistical data from the 2024/25 season: Argentine Lautaro Martínez from Inter Milan and French Ousmane Dembélé from Paris Saint-Germain.
This translates to a goal production every 146 minutes played. In terms of playmaking, Martínez averaged 1.1 key passes per match and made 3.0 shots per game, needing 6.4 attempts to score a goal. Dembélé, on the other hand, recorded an impressive total of 33 goals and 11 assists in 46 matches with PSG, with an average of 69 minutes per goal production.
Top scorer Lautaro Martínez played 48 matches with Inter, scoring 22 goals and providing 3 assists. His completed dribble percentage stood at 45 percent. The French winger Dembélé proved to be a more prolific playmaker, with 2.3 key passes per match and 3.8 shots per game, needing 5.4 attempts to convert. His dribbling effectiveness was slightly higher than Lautaro's, reaching 47 percent.
However, it is important to consider the context of each league and the specific role of each player in their respective tactical schemes for a deeper analysis. Nonetheless, the numbers presented offer valuable insight into the offensive impact of these two figures of international football during the 2024/25 season. At first glance, the statistics suggest a more goal-filled season with greater influence in play creation by the Frenchman.
