Inter has opened a 25-point gap over Venezia after their win, drawing level with Lazio at the top of the table. It is an exceptional start to the season, setting a club record in the modern era of Italian football.
According to the statistics, this is the first time Inter have had such a start in the league since the 1994-95 season, when the three-points-for-a-win system was introduced in Italian football.
The record gains even more value through a historical comparison, applying the three-point system to seasons when a win was worth only two points. Even in this case, Inter’s current start would remain among the best in the club’s history, on the same level as the 1966-67 and 1988-89 seasons.
However, history reminds us that an excellent start does not necessarily guarantee the title. In the 1966-67 season, Juventus finished at the top of the league, while the 1988-89 season remains unforgettable for Inter, as the team won the title with a campaign that entered history as the “Scudetto dei record”, or the record-breaking title.
Inter now aims to continue at the same pace, confirming their ambitions to be protagonists until the end of the season and to turn this historic start into another great success.
