It is not yet, although the main objective is already in the safe. Inter’s season, beyond the second star, can still hold great satisfaction. And records. Yes, because by winning the last three scheduled matches (against Frosinone, Verona and Lazio), the Nerazzurri could break three records, thus giving even more prestige to an already extraordinary season. The Gazzetta dello Sport writes:
“In any case, the last three days on the calendar against Frosinone, Lazio and Verona still leave the way open towards some objectives. Symbolic, certainly, but with a meaning that is by no means trivial. First of all that personal record of points which the Inter can still overcome, going beyond the 97 total in the 2006-2007 season with Roberto Mancini, Inzaghi only needs three victories in the last three matches, which would put the Nerazzurri at 98. In the first leg, against. the same rivals, achieved just as many successes with a balance of six goals scored and only one scored.”
“Repeating the feat, albeit with two out of three away matches (only the match against Lazio at San Siro), should not be at all prohibitive. For the Nerazzurri there is also the concrete possibility of establishing a new record in terms of clean sheet, currently already 20: at least two more in the last three matchdays and the current records of Gianluigi Buffon (Juventus) in the 2010-2011 season and of Ivan Provedel (Lazio) in the last championship, both stuck at 21”.
“For Yann Sommer, protagonist of 18 of the 20 Nerazzurri clean sheets in the championship, the opportunity to at least match his two colleagues (obviously provided he plays all three remaining matches without conceding a goal). Finally, there is another objective which Inzaghi and his team particularly care about, that of the less beaten defense: also in this case, a Juventus record must be beaten, that of the 20 goals conceded in the 2010-2011 season and in the 2015-2016 season. The defense of the fresh champions of Italy, currently punctured only 19 times, is one step away from becoming the least beaten in the history of Serie A.”
