Error-free table: Milan-Inter derby comes under scrutiny

Matchday 10 of Serie A has reopened the debate over refereeing decisions. According to the reconstruction of the table without refereeing errors, two matches may have had a significant impact on the standings: Juventus-Napoli and Milan-Inter. The San Siro derby, which ended 3-1 for Milan on October 31, has therefore been included among the games influenced by refereeing decisions.

The loudest case highlighted by the analysis concerns Juventus-Napoli, described as a genuine disaster because of the impact of the incidents on both the result and the table. The clash between Milan and Inter is also included, although the available material does not provide a complete alternative table or a detailed list of the individual decisions. The central point is therefore the classification of two matches as being affected during matchday 10.

For Inter, the assessment comes after a week featuring three official results: a 2-1 win over Fiorentina, a 2-0 victory at Venezia and the derby defeat. The Nerazzurri cannot dwell on the league: on Tuesday, November 3, at 9 p.m., they will face Feyenoord in Rotterdam on Champions League matchday four. Their next Serie A fixture is on Sunday, November 8, at 6 p.m., at home against Como.
