Inter Milan entered the match with a significant advantage, needing only one point to secure the championship after Napoli drew 0-0 with Como. However, the Nerazzurri did not choose a safe approach. They controlled the game from the start, constantly pressing their opponents.
In the 25th minute, Nicolo Barella nearly opened the scoring with a shot that hit the crossbar, the ball bouncing off goalkeeper Zion Suzuki's back before being cleared off the line. The pressure finally materialized in first-half stoppage time when Thuram broke free from a through ball by Piotr Zielinski and coolly finished to give the score the lead.
The second half was one-sided. Inter maintained complete control, although they lacked sharpness in crucial moments. Federico Dimarco and Denzel Dumfries combined to create good scoring opportunities but failed to capitalize.
It wasn't until the 80th minute that the home team scored their second goal. From a cross by captain Lautaro Martinez, Mkhitaryan tapped the ball in from close range, securing the victory and sparking celebrations from the fans.
The 2-0 victory secured Inter Milan the Serie A 2025/26 title three rounds early, giving them 82 points and a 12-point lead over Napoli. This marks Inter Milan's 21st Serie A championship in their history.
Coach Cristian Chivu's team had an impressive season, maintaining incredible consistency. They boasted the strongest attack in the league with 82 goals, while also demonstrating solidity in defense, conceding only 31 goals.
This title holds special significance for Inter Milan, serving as a powerful response after a bitter season. They lost the Scudetto in the final round, before suffering a humiliating defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final.
"You can make mistakes on the pitch, but this team has never lost its spirit of unity," Barella shared. "We always fight our hardest and deserve this result."
Meanwhile, captain Lautaro Martinez emphasized: “It’s not easy to bounce back after setbacks. But the whole team worked tirelessly. This is a reward for everyone.”
