Inter's comeback statistics are impressive
Why it matters
The draw against Roma highlights the resilience of Internazionale, which continues to demonstrate its ability to recover in difficult situations.

Just five days later, in Rome, another miracle was needed. Two goals from Lautaro Martínez allowed the Nerazzurri to avoid defeat and keep their hopes alive in the title race. The recent comebacks are not an isolated case: according to Opta statistics, under Chivu's leadership, Inter recovered from a two-goal deficit for the sixth time in a league match. This is the same number of times achieved in the ten years before the arrival of Chivu, who replaced Simone Inzaghi in the summer of 2025.
Chivu described his team's first-half performance as so poor that he preferred not to comment on it. "I'll start with the second half, because I already told the players how I thought about the first half," Chivu declared enigmatically during the analysis for DAZN Italia. “They understood exactly what I thought and I'm sure they agreed with me,” he added. However, he praised the team's reaction in the second half, stating: "In the second half we reached a higher level than I have ever seen from my team this season."
Lautaro Martínez also shared the same concerns about the first half. The Argentine preferred not to dwell: "Let's not talk about the first half. Our attitude wasn't good. Halfway through the match we changed our mentality. It's difficult to compete in a match of this type if you play an entire half without intensity. We have to be critical about how we start the matches. We can't always be forced to chase our opponents." Furthermore, both Martínez and Chivu dedicated a thought to former player Sandro Mazzola, who recently passed away.
What happens now
With this draw, Internazionale keeps their title hopes alive, but they will have to improve their consistency, especially in the first half. Cristian Chivu will have the opportunity to work on these aspects during the week, in view of the upcoming matches in Serie A. The team will have to face challenging opponents, and every match will be crucial for their seasonal goal.
