Ciro Immobile, king of Turin and Rome

Italian striker Ciro Immobile faces a special match. Torino and Lazio face each other in the postponed match of the 21st Serie A matchday. The striker wears the Torino jersey, but he has already made his mark in Turin in the past. His goals have ensured that he is still remembered in the north of Italy. It is a clash of kings, but with both crowns on the head of one and the same person.

Immobile has gained great recognition during his time at Lazio. He has now spent 8 seasons with the Roman club and in all of them he has scored a good number of goals, with his best scoring campaign being in 2017-2018 with a total of 41 goals in 47 games. This has earned him the title of 'Capocannoniere' on 3 occasions: 2018, 2020 and 2022.

The Italian striker has a past in Turin that can also be considered successful. He was at the club in two stages, the first one much better than the second one in terms of figures. He arrived in the north of Italy in 2013 from Genoa and that first campaign he managed 23 goals in 34 games, which meant he was the top goalscorer of Serie A for the first time in his career.

On the other hand, Inmobile is the all-time top scorer in head-to-head meetings between Torino and Lazio with nine goals scored. Of these, eight have been scored in a Lazio shirt and only one for Torino.

The Prince born in Torre Annunziata in the Campania region has become a king far from his birthplace. The cities of Turin and Rome have witnessed his conquest. A feud that has led him to be 'Capocannoniere' with both clubs and to leave an indelible memory in the Lazio-Torino match.
