INTER striker Mauro Icardi is just as good as Cristiano Ronaldo, according to his wife and agent Wanda Nara.
The Argentine hitman has bagged nine goals in all competitions their term, two more than the Juventus superstar.
Icardi scored a crucial equaliser for the Serie A giants in last night's Champions League clash with Barcelona.
That made it three Champions League strikes in four games with Chelsea fans demanding the club break the bank to land him in January.
His stats make for even better reading as the 25-year-old has missed three league games, while Ronaldo has played all of the Italian champion’s games.
And his other half was quick to point out how well her client and hubby has started the season.

She told the Tika Taka show: “He has almost scored the same number of goals (in Serie A) as Cristiano Ronaldo despite missing three league matches.
"I'd like to see Ronaldo sit calmly on the bench when his team is scoring five goals and he knows he could have had three of them, as happened with Icardi against Genoa."
She also spoke about Lionel Messi, insisting that Icardi who was a youth player at Barca has a good relationship with his countryman.
Nara added: “He has many beautiful memories of the club, he grew up there.
“He has a wonderful friendship with Lionel Messi. I want him (Messi) to play on the pitch, just like Mauro does.”
