The 2020-2021 season was Sam Lammers’ first in the Nerazzurri shirt. It was a year of maturation and growth in a new league, in which he got the satisfaction of scoring a stunner of a goal to break the ice: 17 games played in all competitions (15 in Serie A TIM, 1 in the UEFA Champions League, 1 in the Coppa Italia) and 2 goals scored. In the league, he found the back of the net on his third appearance by putting his name to a masterpiece of technique and elegance in the match won 5-2 over Cagliari on Matchday 3: the quality of the play with which he made his way through the defenders in the area, dribbling past them with his sole was his business card. The Dutch striker managed to repeat himself in the following fixture, scoring for two consecutive matches: in the 4-1 defeat at Napoli, he scored the Nerazzurri goal. And on matchday 5 against Sampdoria, he also played his first game as a starter in the Nerazzurri shirt. Then the official Lega Serie A statistics about the league: 333 minutes played, 3.416 km run on average per game, 8 shots made, 4 goalscoring chances created, 1 key pass, 9 ball recoveries, 5 fouls suffered. 

In addition to making his debut and scoring his first goals in Serie A this season, Sam also got the satisfaction of making his debut in a Champions League Group Stage: it happened in the home match against Liverpool. With PSV he had played, scoring a goal, the second qualifying round, but he never made it to the next stage.
