19 Points, But No Title? Inter's Historical Curse
18 Oct
Summary
- Inter matched their record 19 points in seven games this season.
- They have previously achieved this, but never won the title.
- Juventus won the league title in those prior 19-point seasons.
Inter Milan has achieved an impressive 19 points in their opening seven Serie A matches of the 2026-27 season. This is the most points the club has ever recorded at this stage of the campaign.
However, this remarkable start is shadowed by a historical omen. Inter has reached this 19-point milestone on three previous occasions: in 1997-98, 2002-03, and 2017-18. In each of those seasons, despite a strong beginning, the Nerazzurri ultimately failed to win the Serie A title, with Juventus claiming the championship instead.
The team, managed by Cristian Chivu, has shown fighting spirit, coming from behind in four league matches and recovering 10 points from losing positions, more than any other top European division side. Despite their domestic success, Inter has yet to secure any points in the current Champions League campaign.
