Among all the competitions, Inzaghi’s team is already sure to play at least 61 games in season like the Milan of records in 2003. But they could become many more, and the national teams risk reaching even 76
Simone Inzaghi repeats it from all year round. “My and Inter goal is to play as many games as possible”. So far the Nerazzurri coach has been widely satisfied by his players and the team runs fast on all competitions. The return match against Bayern Munich in the quarterfinals of the Champions League was the number 49 of the season: in Bologna at Easter you can reach round figure, but the number is destined to rise dramatically. Not only because Inter are already sure to play at least 61 games in the current season (such as the Milan of records in the 2002-03 season) if it should unfortunately be eliminated in the next round of the Champions League and Italian Cup, but also because they could even become … 68. But how would it be possible?

To achieve yet another arrival of Inter coach, to Simone Inzaghi “it would be enough” to reach one of the Italian Cup final, that of the Champions League or the round of 16 of the Club World Cup. Thus Inter would become the most “committed” team in the history of Italian football, exceeding Ancelotti’s Milan. But the scenario could enrich further games. Because if the Nerazzurri group were to reach all the competitions, the games that Inter could play in just one year (scarce) would become 68: 38 in Serie A, 15 in the Champions League, 7 at the Club World Cup, 5 in the Italian Cup, 2 in Italian Super Cup. So, however, we are at 67, and then here is the variable that would bring to 68: the Scudetto playoff. Inter and Naples in the standings are separated by just 3 points. An advantage certainly not indifferent but not even reassuring, which leaves the final playing possibility open. The two teams, in case of arrival on equal points, would also have direct clashes (1-1 both in San Siro and Maradona). To assign the title, do you move on to the networks difference? Not really, that will serve to play the Scudetto final in the house. To the hypothetical 68 games, then add those of the Nerazzurri national teams. Barella, Bastoni and Lautaro, for example, would count other 8 games with their respective selections for a total that would lead to the monstrous figure of 76. In 330 days, from the championship debut on August 17 to the possible final of the club for club scheduled for July 13. A massacring year, which, however, could really enter the history of Inter. After all, “the goal is to play as many games as possible”.
