Among other Serie A football results from Wednesday night, Simone Inzaghi reacted to Inter Milan becoming the winter champions. Inzaghi’s side were already guaranteed to go into the mid-season break as ‘winter champions’, the name given to the league leaders at the halfway stage of the season.
That is because, after winning this football match at home, Inter moved up to 46 points. This means Internazionale are seven points clear of AC Milan and Napoli going into the Christmas festivities’ break.
It was Inter’s 32nd A win of 2021. This is a total – in a calendar year in Serie A – that only Juventus have eclipsed once before. The Turin side did so in 2016 with 33.
Moreover, the singular goal in the match made Inter the second team Serie A team to reach a record. In the last 50 years, they are the second to score at least 49 goals in their first 19 games. Only Atalanta have managed to produce this tally within the span of a season, in 2019-20.
So, Dumfries’ 30th-minute goal has already elavated 2021 calendar year for Inter. And it may turn around the whole 2021-22 season too.

“It was an important win, we knew that Torino are a difficult team to face,” Inzaghi told DAZN.
“We did well with our preparation over the last few days, we knew about their ferocious pressing and that they would try to disrupt our game,” the Inter coach continued.
Inzaghi concluded: “We played a great match and barely risked anything. We are very satisfied with how we have ended the year.”
