Inter were dealt another damaging blow as they lost to Fiorentina in their return to Serie A action yesterday evening.

The Nerazzurri hadn’t lost to La Viola in the league since nearly six years ago, during the 2016-17 season, but were unable to score a goal and saw Vincenzo Italiano’s men extend their winning run across all competitions to seven.

As football statistics account Opta pointed out, this marked a very unwelcome statistic for the Nerazzurri.

They tweeted, “10 – #Inter have lost at least 10 of their first 28 league games played for only the third time in the 3 points for a win era, after 2011/12 (they finished in 6th place) and 1998/99 (8th place). Rift.”
