Inter Milan won the Italian Football League title for the 21st time in its history, after expanding the gap to 12 points with second-placed Napoli, three stages before the end, following its victory over its guest, Parma, 2-0, in the thirty-fifth round of “Serie A.”
Frenchman Marcus Thuram scored the first goal in stoppage time of the first half (45+1), before Armenian veteran Henrikh Mkhitaryan secured the victory with a second goal in the 80th minute.
Romanian coach Christian Kefu led his team to raise its score to 82 points, compared to 70 for defending champion Napoli, so Inter added a new star to its historical score.
The new coronation came as Inter's third league title in the last 6 seasons after 2020-2021 and 2023-2024, a path that the club began when, under the leadership of Antonio Conte, it stopped Juventus' record streak of nine consecutive titles between the 2011-2012 and 2019-2020 seasons.
Inter is now focusing on trying to achieve the domestic double, as it meets Lazio in the Italian Cup final scheduled for May 13.
In another match, Milan continued its reeling by losing to ten players against its host Sassuolo 0-2, after English defender Fikayo Tomori was sent off for receiving two warnings in the 24th minute.
Domenico Berardi scored the first goal for Sassuolo (5), then Frenchman Armand Loriente added the second goal at the beginning of the second half (47), leaving Milan's score frozen at 67 points in third place, only two points behind Juventus in fourth place, while Sassuolo raised its score to 49 points in ninth place.
Juventus was unable to capitalize on Milan's loss, settling for a 1-1 draw with its guest Hellas Verona, as the visitors took the lead through Scot Kieron Boye (34), before Serbian Dusan Vlahovic equalized from a direct free kick (62), raising his team's tally to 65 points, compared to 20 points for Verona, which is in 19th place in the relegation.
Bologna emerged with a disappointing goalless draw at home to Cagliari, leaving it in eighth place with 49 points, compared to 37 for Cagliari in sixteenth place, at a time when Pisa and Hellas Verona's final relegation was decided three rounds before the finish line.
