Three very important points were won by Inter at San Siro against Como, on the 17th matchday of the championship. The Nerazzurri played a good match, winning 2-0 thanks to goals from Carlos Augusto and Thuram. The victory against the Como team brings with it several statistical considerations and interesting ideas:
Simone Inzaghi's team is closing 2024 in a very positive way. The Nerazzurri have won four consecutive matches in Serie A for the first time since the period between January and March, 10 in that case. In general, there is a curious fact: Inter have achieved 13 home successes in a row against a single opponent, Como, for the first time in Serie A.
The heel turn, the exchange with Zielinski and then that powerful right foot that closes the match. Even against Como, Marcus Thuram demonstrated all his effectiveness and determination. Tikus was involved in 22 goals, with 18 goals and four assists, in Serie A in the calendar year 2024. No one did better in the period. Furthermore, after goals against Parma and Lazio, he scored in three consecutive league matches for the first time since December 2023.
The last home match of 2024 was the opportunity to celebrate Lautaro Martinez. Before kick-off against Como, the Inter captain was rewarded for an extraordinary achievement: 300 appearances with the Nerazzurri shirt. On the Meazza lawn, the Nerazzurri number 10 received a celebratory shirt with the number 300 from the hands of President and CEO Sport Giuseppe Marotta and Sporting Director Piero Ausilio. The entire stadium gave its captain a long round of applause, making the moment even more memorable.
He's starting to enjoy it and this time he deservedly got the warm embrace of San Siro. With the winning header against Como, Carlos Augusto scored two goals in the last two games played in Serie A with Inter. The Brazilian winger is becoming an additional weapon in the offensive phase too.
Once again he is the one who has a hand in it. Hakan Çalhanoglu with the assist for Carlos Augusto's crucial goal was involved in 150 goals in the top five European leagues, with 76 goals and 74 assists. Since his Bundesliga debut in 2013/14, only four midfielders have reached this milestone: De Bruyne, Reus, Di Maria and Payet. Another incredible statistic that underlines the world-class caliber of an increasingly incisive player.
