The 1-0 victory over Roma not only lifted Inter Milan level at the top of the Serie A table – it also added a historic chapter to the club’s rivalry with the Giallorossi.
According to Opta, Inter are now the first team in Serie A history to win five consecutive away matches against Roma, with an aggregate scoreline of 11–2 in those fixtures at the Stadio Olimpico.
A remarkable streak, and one that reflects the Nerazzurri’s growing authority under Cristian Chivu.
The win in Rome also allowed Inter to gain three points on Napoli, who fell earlier in the day in Turin.
It is the latest boost in a run that has now reached six consecutive victories in all competitions, strengthening both the league position and the team’s belief.
With momentum building and confidence soaring, Chivu’s Inter arrive at a crucial stretch of the season in the best possible condition and with numbers that speak louder than any headline.
