Invincible in Italy. Chivu also passes Dan Țucu's Genoa and awaits two matches of the “truth”
Surprisingly eliminated from the Champions League, Inter has a perfect course in the championship. Cristi Chivu's team reached 15 matches without defeat, of which the last 8 were straight wins. Last night, Dan Țucu's Genoa stood in front of the Romanian team, but the team from Liguria did not give the Milanese any problems.

Federico Dimarco scored first in the 31st minute with a shot to the bottom right corner. It was the Nerazzurri defender's 20th direct contribution to a goal this Serie A season, a feat only achieved by Massim Oddo 20 years ago. Then Hakan Calhanoglu also scored in the second half, who calmly converted a shot from 11 meters.
The big match with AC Milan is coming up
Inter reached 67 points, being the sole leader in the Serie A standings, being 13 points away from AC Milan, who will play Cremonese today. Cristi Chivu's side, who have collected 41 points in their last 15 games, have not lost in Serie A since the end of November when they were beaten 1-0 by their city rivals.
After this perfect series, Inter have two hot matches. The first, on Tuesday, in the semifinals of the Italian Cup, with Como, the team in 5th place, the occasion of a Chivu – Fabregas duel, i.e. of the two coaches that the Nerazzurri had in their sights at the beginning of the season, the Romanian being preferred to the Spaniard. Then, on March 8, Inter will face AC Milan, the only team still in contention for the title, if they win the city derby.
