Inter Milan secured their 21st Serie A title with a 2-0 victory over Parma at San Siro on Sunday.
The Nerazzurri needed only a draw to clinch the trophy and moved an unassailable 12 points clear of reigning champions Napoli with three rounds remaining.
Match Highlights
Marcus Thuram opened the scoring shortly before halftime with an angled shot that beat goalkeeper Zion Suzuki.
Veteran Henrikh Mkhitaryan doubled the lead in the 80th minute, converting a pass from Lautaro Martinez—who made his return from injury as a substitute.
Historic Achievement
This marks Inter's third Serie A title in six years, leaving them second only to Juventus, who hold the record with 36 championships.
It's the first time Inter has sealed the title at home in front of their own fans since 1989—nearly four decades ago.
Fireworks and celebrations erupted around the San Siro after the final whistle.
Player Connections
Thuram was born in Parma while his father, Lilian Thuram, played for the club.
"Since I arrived at Inter, it's been a team that loves to stay together—on and off the field—and that's our strength," Thuram said.
Coach Chivu's Impact
For first-year coach Cristian Chivu, the trophy was secured against the club he managed last season, helping Parma avoid relegation.
Chivu replaced Simone Inzaghi nearly a year ago and played on the Inter side that won a treble under José Mourinho in 2010.
Lautaro praised the new manager: "He did so well bringing fresh energy, enthusiasm. After four great years with Simone, perhaps we needed a change of scenery."
Season Outlook
Inter remains in contention for two trophies this season and will face Lazio in the Italian Cup final in 10 days.
The domestic success contrasts sharply with Inter's Champions League disappointment—they were eliminated by Norway's Bodø/Glimt in the playoffs.
Midfielder Nicolò Barella reflected on the turnaround: "Last season we came so close to everything and won nothing. In life you've always got to get back up on your feet."
Title Race Update
With three rounds remaining, AC Milan and Juventus risk losing their Champions League spots.
Milan was reduced to 10 men and beaten 2-0 at Sassuolo, leaving them just two points ahead of fourth-placed Juventus.
Juventus drew 1-1 with Hellas Verona but extended its unbeaten run to nine matches.
