Ciro Immobile Has Become The 9th Highest Goal Scorer In Serie A History

Despite not being able to bring Lazio victory, one goal scored by Ciro Immobile against Lecce has significance for the 32-year-old striker.

First, Ciro maintained the tradition of scoring in the first match of every new year with Lazio, which he has done since 2017.

Secondly, the single goal that he scored took his name past the 188-goal mark that has been alongside the goals scored by Giuseppe Signori, Alessandro Del Piero, and Alberto Gilardino. Ciro's position has also increased to 9th place on the all-time top Serie A scorers list.

Ciro's next significant challenge is to surpass the goals of Kurt Hamrin, Roberto Baggio, or even Antonio Di Natale to become the top 5.
