Why It Matters
Inter Milan were defending champions from 2024 and had a comfortable lead in the Serie A table. This is their first league title since 2024, ending a two-year drought. Manager Cristian Chivu, a former Inter player who won three Serie A titles with the club, achieved his first managerial honour.
Inter sealed the Serie A title with a 2-0 victory over Parma, wrapping up the scudetto with three games to spare. The Nerazzurri only needed a point to claim their 21st Italian league championship before the home match, with defending champions Napoli nine points behind and Milan 12 points back after a 2-0 defeat at Sassuolo earlier in the day. Yet a clinical Marcus Thuram finish in first-half stoppage time put the hosts ahead at San Siro. The France forward latched on to Piotr Zielinski's defence-splitting pass and made no mistake inside the box. Henrikh Mkhitaryan sealed the win with a close-range finish in the 80th minute to ensure a party atmosphere inside the stadium before the full-time whistle. Cristian Chivu's side saw the game out after that to become champions for the first time since 2024. It is the Romanian manager's first honour as a coach, coming at the club where he won Serie A three times as a player. More to follow.
