Ciro Immobile continued his strong goal-scoring run with a key goal against Club Brugge in Lazio’s final UEFA Champions League group stage fixture of the season. His strike was important for Lazio as it gave the Italian side a much-needed 2-1 lead over the first half.
The goal for Immobile was a significant one for the forward as he joined Alessandro Del Piero and Filippo Inzaghi as the only Italians to score in each of their first four fixtures in a single Champions League campaign.

Overall, Immobile went on to also score a pair of goals against Borussia Dortmund and Zenit St. Petersburg this season.
Immobile and his Lazio side will now be heading into the knockout stage as a dark horse contender to watch in the competition.
