Summary
- Francesco Esposito has best goals-per-minute ratio for Italy.
- He averages one goal every 88 minutes for the national team.
- Esposito surpasses legends Riva, Piola, and Chiesa.
Inter Milan forward Francesco Esposito has achieved a historic milestone, establishing the best goals-per-minute ratio ever recorded for the Italian national team. The 21-year-old striker has scored nine goals in just 14 appearances for the Azzurri, averaging an astonishing goal every 88 minutes. This remarkable efficiency surpasses esteemed former forwards like Enrico Chiesa, who averaged a goal every 91 minutes, and Julio Libonatti, who scored at a rate of one every 102 minutes.
Esposito's current performance also outpaces Italy's greatest all-time strikers. Despite Luigi Riva's record of 35 international goals, his strike rate was one goal every 106 minutes. Similarly, Silvio Piola, third on Italy's all-time scoring list with 30 goals, averaged a goal every 103 minutes. Esposito's impressive international form sets a new benchmark for efficiency, with potential to challenge Riva's overall goal tally in the future.
