Serie A, the error-adjusted table: Inter caught up in eighth-round chaos
A refereeing analysis identifies three matches affected in the latest round, including games involving Inter and Milan.
The eighth round of Serie A is under scrutiny because of refereeing decisions. According to an analysis published today, Monday 26 October 2026, three matches may have followed a different course without the officials’ mistakes. The review also mentions games involving Inter and Milan, as well as an incident recorded in Naples.
The analysis therefore attempts to redraw the league table by removing the impact of refereeing errors. Its focus is not limited to isolated incidents, but extends to their possible influence on the final results and, consequently, on the allocation of points. The reference to Inter’s matches reignites a debate that had already emerged after the latest game at San Siro, without erasing what the team produced on the pitch.
Inter are coming off a 2-1 victory over Fiorentina on 25 October, following a 3-1 away win against Bologna on 17 October. Chivu’s side return to action on Wednesday 28 October at 18:30 away to Venezia, before the derby against Milan on 31 October at 20:45. The Champions League then brings a meeting with Feyenoord on 3 November at 21:00.
