Serie A round-up: 5 interesting stats and facts from matchday 13

Round 13 is nearly over, with Cagliari facing Torino, but nine games have been played and there have been some slight changes in the league table. Here's what we learned from matchday 13 in Serie A.

Cristiano Ronaldo continues to make history

He may not have been able to stay on top of the Serie A goalscoring charts after Piatek finally ended his goalscoring drought, but Cristiano Ronaldo continues to make waves nonetheless. The Portuguese superstar has been in brilliant form for Juventus, with nine goals and five assists so far to his name, and now has achieved a notable milestone for his new side with his goal against SPAL over the weekend:

9 - Prior to Cristiano Ronaldo, the last Juventus player able to score nine goals in his first Serie A season after MD13 was Pietro Anastasi in 1968/69. Historical. #JuveSPAL

Inter's prolific team effort

Inter got back on track after seeing their winning streak end at the hands of Atalanta before the international break, and the Nerazzurri did so in resounding fashion. Although Mauro Icardi is the leading scorer with seven goals, clearly Inter are showing they have no problems finding goals from anywhere on the pitch:

Parma's impressive start

Meanwhile, Parma picked up another impressive win over Sassuolo, which has helped them climb to sixth in the table. The Crociati have done really well upon their return to the top flight in 2015.

Here's how things are looking for them so far:

20 - Parma gained 20 points so far: only one time they collected more points after the first 13 league match-days in the previous 10 Serie A campaigns (23 in 2009/10). Flight. #ParmaSassuolo
