Twenty-two points in eight matchdays, with a record already in sight. If Inter were to beat Venezia, the Nerazzurri would reach 25 points and set the best points tally ever collected in the first nine matches of a Serie A season in the era of three points for a win.
What makes these numbers even more significant is the quality of the points earned: 13 of the total 22 came when the team was trailing. This statistic places Inter at the top among all teams in the Big-5 European leagues 2026/27 for points gained from coming from behind, with a margin of at least five points over any other competitor.
This second statistic also constitutes a record, with a precise historical significance: no team, in the first eight matchdays of a single Serie A season in the last twenty years, had collected as many points starting from a losing position. A double statistic that tells of the group’s ability to react and makes the challenge at Penzo a date with history.
