Inter Milan dominate Serie A with a lethal attack and rock-solid defense
Inter Milan continue to churn out goals and victories at a remarkable pace. The numbers are firmly in Cristian Chivu’s favor, with the Nerazzurri often breaking deadlocks from corner kicks.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport via Fcinter1908, Inter Milan’s attack has been virtually unstoppable this season, with 57 goals scored — a tally unmatched by any domestic rival so far.
But it’s not just the offensive stats that impress. The team also leads in defensive discipline, boasting the highest number of wins with clean sheets across Europe’s top five leagues in 2025-26: 13 matches, at least two more than any other Big-5 side (Arsenal have 11).
Deadly from set pieces
A standout detail highlights Inter Milan’s lethal efficiency from corners. Chivu’s side is the only team in Serie A to score more than 10 goals from set pieces and headers this season. So far, they have converted 13 goals from corners, with 12 of them via headers.
Yesterday in Reggio Emilia, Bisseck and Akanji extended this trend, both scoring from corners with precise headers — a perfect illustration of Chivu’s tactical acumen and the team’s set-piece dominance.
