1: 3! De Bruyne retired due to injury, Inter Milan’s 7-game winning streak was ended, Conte was criticized, and the top spot in Serie A changed hands.

As the defending champion of Serie A, Napoli was defeated by Turin in the last round of the league and was handed the top spot in Serie A. They also suffered a 2:6 defeat in the Champions League in midweek. Conte was forced to score 6 goals in a row by his opponent in his coaching career, and once again exposed his inability to fight on two fronts. In the early morning of October 26, in the 8th round of Serie A, Naples had another strong showdown with Inter Milan. Returning to its familiar league front, Naples defeated Inter Milan 3:1 and regained the top spot in Serie A.

In comparison, after experiencing the running-in period at the beginning of the season, Inter Milan has become more and more courageous. Chivu has led the team to 7 consecutive victories in all competitions, and 3 consecutive victories in the Champions League, making it the best team in Serie A. Coming to the away game this time, the main force of the Nerazzurri was used, with Boni and Lautaro as forwards; Calhanoglu, Varela, and Mkhitaryan formed the midfield triangle; Dumfries and Dimarco were on the wings; Akanji, Acerbi, and Bastoni led the defense, and Sommer was the goalkeeper. Naples is led by former Premier League players such as McTominay, De Bruyne and Gilmour.

As soon as the game started, Inter Milan showed the momentum of turning against the visitors; in the 8th minute, Calhanoglu took a corner kick, and Bastoni nodded and slid past the goal; in the 13th minute, Boni broke through and made a ball, and Calhanoglu missed the long shot; in the 15th minute, Naples made a mistake in the backcourt, and Lautaro's close shot was saved by Savic.

However, in the 33rd minute, a controversial scene occurred on the court; Di Lorenzo advanced in the penalty area to respond, Mkhitaryan blocked his position in time, Acerbi successfully touched the ball with his sliding tackle, Di Lorenzo fell to the ground, but the referee awarded Naples a penalty kick. Even though the Inter Milan generals protested, the referee Mariani still insisted on the original decision, and then De Bruyne made a penalty shot, 0:1! However, De Bruyne strained his right thigh after taking the penalty and was unable to continue the game and was directly helped out by the team doctor.

In the 40th minute, Calhanoglu once again took a precise corner kick. Bastoni once again grabbed a header but hit the post without any bias! In the 45th minute, Calhanoglu volleyed directly from the top of the arc. Savic did not dare to save the ball. Then Calhanoglu sent a through ball. Dumfries hit the ball from the bottom and Lautaro missed the post and rolled out of the baseline. Before half-time, Bastoni made a cross from the left, and Dumfries' header hit the post again.

In the 54th minute of the second half, Spinazzola transferred a long pass from the left. Inter Milan pressed forward, causing the backcourt defense to be relatively empty. McTominay moved forward to observe the ball and kept volleying the ball. The ball bounced into the net, 0:2! McTominay scored 13 goals last season, helping Naples win the Serie A championship, and he also won the best midfielder in Serie A; he has also received 4 goals and 1 assist in 10 games this season.

In the 59th minute, Lautaro's header hit the defensive player's raised arm. Inter Milan also got a penalty kick opportunity. Calhanoglu made a steady penalty to win back the victory, 1:2! In the 66th minute, Anguissa ran all the way with the ball. Acerbi couldn't catch up. Akanji failed to make up the position. The former advanced into the penalty area and volleyed from a reverse angle to expand the advantage again, 1:3!

Trailing by 2 goals, Chivu continued to replace Sucic, Luis Enrique, and Fratesi to strengthen the attack; however, the leading Naples also pragmatically chose to use defense and ball control to maintain their advantage. In the end, Inter Milan lost to Naples 1:3 in an away game, and their 7-game winning streak in all competitions was ended; Naples overtook Milan, which was upset and tied in this round, and regained the top spot in Serie A. It's just that Conte suffered consecutive defeats in the Champions League, and returned to the league to attack hard. Such a "strange" winning method also caused many fans to complain.
