Inter Milan has achieved a notable milestone in the 2026-27 Serie A season, collecting 19 points from their first seven matches, which equals their highest points tally after this many games in the three-point era. However, a concerning trend accompanies this achievement: in previous seasons when Inter reached 19 points after seven matches, they failed to win the league title.

In their most recent match on October 17, 2026, Inter secured a 3-1 victory against Bologna, with goals from Marcus Thuram, Carlos Augusto, and Ange-Yoan Bonny. Notably, this match marked the fourth time this season that Inter has had to come from behind to earn points, illustrating their resilience; they have salvaged 10 points from losing positions, more than any other team in Europe’s top leagues.
Despite struggling in the Champions League with zero points from their first two matches, manager Cristian Chivu has expressed satisfaction with the team's Serie A performance, as they have dropped only two points, which came from a 2-2 draw against Roma on September 19, 2026. Inter's current points total ties their previous records achieved in the 1987-88, 2002-03, and 2017-18 seasons, but in each of those years, they ultimately did not secure the Serie A title, with Juventus claiming the championship instead.
