Inter Milan's recent 2-0 victory over Lazio has positioned them at the top of the Serie A table, but Federico Dimarco cautions that this early lead is not significant. Goals from Lautaro Martinez and Ange-Yoan
Bonny propelled Inter above Roma on goal difference after 11 matches. Despite their strong start, Dimarco remains cautious, noting the long season ahead.
Inter's win against Lazio marked their 12th home victory in Serie A this year, matching Roma's record for the most home wins in 2025. Since October, only Arsenal has secured more victories across all competitions among Europe's top five leagues, with Inter equalling Manchester City and Bayern Munich with seven wins each.
Lautaro Martinez ended a four-match goal drought by scoring his seventh goal against Lazio. This strike was his 10th league goal of the year, placing him among Inter's historic scorers like Alessandro Altobelli, Benito Lorenzi, and Giuseppe Meazza. Martinez expressed joy at returning to form, acknowledging the fans' support as crucial.
Ange-Yoan Bonny's contribution was pivotal during a pressured moment in the match. His goal allowed Inter to regain control. Dimarco praised Bonny's work ethic and potential for growth, highlighting him as a valuable addition to the team. The young player's performance has been promising since joining Inter.
According to Opta's supercomputer predictions, Inter are favourites to clinch the Serie A title this season with a 56.5% chance of winning the Scudetto. However, Dimarco refrains from making bold predictions so early in the campaign. He emphasises that being at the top now doesn't guarantee future success.
Upcoming Derby Against AC Milan
Inter will face city rivals AC Milan on November 23 in their next fixture. This match is anticipated to be a significant test for both teams as they vie for dominance in Serie A. Fans eagerly await this clash between two of Italy's most storied clubs.
Reflecting on his goal against Lazio, Martinez admitted it wasn't perfectly executed but was thrilled it found the net. "I certainly wanted to go for goal," he said to DAZN Italia. "It's also true that I scuffed it a little. " His delight was evident as he described scoring as football's most exhilarating experience.
Despite their current standing, Dimarco remains grounded about Inter’s title prospects. When asked if Inter were underestimated in the title race, he responded: "That is not for me to say, but being top right now doesn't count for anything; there is a long way to go. " His focus remains on maintaining consistency throughout the season.
The support from Inter fans continues to inspire players like Martinez. He shared how hearing his name chanted gives him goosebumps and motivates him further on the pitch: "They are like the 12th man; they affect the game. " Such passionate backing is vital for sustaining momentum in challenging matches ahead.
As Inter prepares for upcoming challenges, maintaining focus and building on their current form will be crucial. With key players like Martinez finding their stride again and new talents like Bonny emerging strongly, Inter aims to continue their pursuit of Serie A glory while keeping expectations measured amidst fierce competition.
