Inter’s impressive start to the season has drawn plaudits from many in Italy already. Now statistics show that this is in fact their best start to a Serie A season in more than 60 years.
Not even in their historic Triplete winning season in 2009-2010 did Jose Mourinho’s men enjoy a start as good as this. Inter have collected 33 points in their opening 13 games in Serie A and are still unbeaten. Corriere Dello Sport goes on to explain that Inter have only ever enjoyed a start as good as this once and that was back in the 1950-1951 season. In that season Aldo Olivieri’s team started with 11 wins, 1 draw & 1 defeat in a season where they would eventually finish 2nd to city rivals Milan.
Looking at the Inter team of today however, we can also add the last two games of last season to their impressive run. This brings their tally up to 12 wins and 3 draws from their last 15 Serie A games. An unbeaten run of games that is their best since February 2008. These are all impressive numbers that further support the great work being done by manager Luciano Spalletti.
