Sunday night’s victory in Bergamo allowed all Inter fans to enjoy the international break with great peace of mind, as Simone Inzaghi‘s team extended its lead to +3 over Napoli and +6 over Atalanta, their two main pursuers in the Serie A standings.
However, as analyzed by colleagues from Sky Sport, there is another ranking in which Inter also occupies first place, reflecting a key element of the Nerazzurri’s playing style that Inzaghi knows well and exploits extensively during various phases of the match: namely the aerial threat posed by his players and their heading ability.
Indeed, Inter is the team in Serie A that has scored the most headed goals throughout the 29 rounds played so far, with a total of 13, distributed as follows: Thuram 3, Dumfries 2, Lautaro 2, Carlos Augusto 2, Arnautovic 2, Darmian 1, and Bastoni 1. Behind the Nerazzurri in this ranking are Atalanta with 11 headed goals and Udinese with 9, completing the podium.
