Inter Milan’s impressive 28-match unbeaten streak in Serie A was brought to a halt by Sassuolo in a surprising defeat.
Today’s print edition of the Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, as reported by FCInterNews, emphasizes the significance of Inter Milan’s recent defeat. It marks a departure from their previous dominance, particularly in Serie A, where they had not suffered a loss since the fall. Interestingly, their last defeat in Serie A was also against Sassuolo. Beyond the league, Inter faced setbacks in the Coppa Italia against Bologna and were eliminated from the Champions League round of sixteen by Atletico Madrid.
Despite these disappointments in knockout competitions, Inter maintained an exceptional record in Serie A after their initial loss to Sassuolo. While there were occasional draws against teams like Bologna, Juventus, Genoa, Napoli, and Cagliari, Inter secured 22 victories, solidifying their position at the top of the Serie A table and ultimately clinching the title. Even after securing the championship, Inter continued their winning streak, defeating Torino the previous weekend.
However, Sassuolo once again proved to be a formidable opponent for Inter in their latest encounter. The Emilian side scored early in the match and effectively defended their lead throughout the ninety minutes, halting Inter’s unbeaten streak at 28 matches in the league. While this streak remains commendable, it falls short of extending until the end of the season. Notably, Sassuolo’s victory over Inter marks their second triumph against the Nerazzurri in the current season, highlighting their unexpected dominance over the Milanese club.
