Cristian Chivu is on course to win the Scudetto in his first season in charge of 20-time Italian champions Inter Milan.
According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri are close to winning the title despite their disappointing record in high-profile games.
Inter Milan fought from behind to beat Como 4-3 at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia on Sunday, moving nine points clear of second-placed Napoli.
Furthermore, Antonio Conte’s men need a miracle to overturn this gap, with only six matches left to play until the end of the season.
As such, it’s hard to imagine Cristian Chivu missing out on the Scudetto in his first year at San Siro.
Inter Milan to Win Scudetto Despite Dismal Record in ‘Big Games’
Inter boast a commanding lead over closest challengers Napoli and AC Milan.
However, Chivu’s charges have won just one point from four league clashes against their direct title rivals.
By contrast, they’ve been ruthless against the rest of the league, accruing a whopping 74 points against teams ranked fourth or lower.
Indeed, they have averaged 2.88 points per game against sides outside the top three.
That’s perhaps the only reason why they’re on the verge of winning their 21st Serie A
