The Belgian and Argentine have been in terrific touch throughout the 2019/20 campaign, with Lukaku having found the back of the net on 33 occasions and the latter having scored 21 times.
On Monday, both strikers scored braces in the Nerazzurri's 5-0 victory to advance to the UEL final, in which the Italian giants will take on Sevilla this coming Friday.
Martinez's first goal of the evening ensured that both he and Lukaku have scored on 20 occasions across all competitions this season, a feat that has not been achieved by two Inter players since Martins and Adriano, who were the first and only pair to do it for the club.
