Ciro Immobile is having another incredible campaign with Lazio, further proving his record-breaking abilities.

The 32-year-old Italian striker scored his 180th Serie A goal in the Biancocelesti’s 1-1 draw with Torino yesterday, matching Sampdoria veteran Fabio Quagliarella at 13th in the all-time top scorers list.

As noted by LazioNews24, Immobile has now become the first Italian player in Serie A history to score at least 25 goals in three separate league campaigns, being the third in general behind Gunnar Nordahl and Stefano Nyers.

The Lazio star has also scored 30+ goals in all competitions for a third season – 41 goals in the 2017-18 season, 39 in 2019-20 and 30 in 2021-22 – an incredible sign of consistency.

Since the 2013-14 season, the 32-year-old Italian striker has scored at least three goals in seven different Serie A matches, showing off his nose for blood.
