Portuguese coach saw the end of his team’s long unbeaten run (12 games) in the competition
Inter had no compassion for Mourinho, their former and successful coach, and sent (3-1) Roma at Giuseppe Meazza, taking the lead in Serie A. The capital’s team saw the end of their long unbeaten run (12 games) in the competition, risking today losing 5th place to Lazio and Fiorentina. The only good memory that Special One will have of this first time that it returned to San Siro to face Inter in the championship was the ‘serenade’ and ovation dedicated to it by the Nerazzurri fans. Inter’s fourth consecutive victory in Serie A was built with goals from Dumfries (30′), Brozovic (40′) and Lautaro Martínez (52′), the latter having scored twenty shots (all competitions) in 2021/ 22. Mkhitaryan (85′) saved the honor of Rui Patrício and Sérgio Oliveira. Mourinho was resigned to the defeat. “If I have to lose, I prefer it to be against a better team than ours. Inter are the best team in Serie A, they have real ‘animals’… in a good way. I hope they are champions”, stressed the Portuguese, who never beat Inter (3D).
