Inter Milan Clinch 20th Serie A Title In Historic Milan Derby Victory

Inter Milan secured their 20th Serie A title in style with a 2-1 victory over fierce rivals AC Milan. The match, which saw Francesco Acerbi and Marcus Thuram find the back of the net for Simone Inzaghi’s side, marked a historic moment as the Scudetto winner was confirmed at the end of a Milan derby for the first time.

The game started with Inter showing their intent early on, with Acerbi capitalizing on a well-executed set-piece to give his team the lead in the 18th minute. The Nerazzurri continued to dominate proceedings, with Lautaro Martinez and others coming close to extending the lead. AC Milan, however, showed glimpses of threat, with Yann Sommer making crucial saves to deny their attacks.

The second half saw Inter double their lead through a moment of brilliance from Thuram, who displayed his speed and finishing ability to beat the Milan defense and slot the ball into the bottom corner. Despite a late resurgence from AC Milan, highlighted by Tomori’s goal, Inter remained composed and held on to secure the victory and the title.

The match was not without its controversies, as stoppage-time incidents led to the dismissals of Hernandez, Dumfries, and Calabria, adding a fiery edge to an already intense derby atmosphere. Despite the late drama, Inter’s resilience shone through as they extended their unbeaten league run to an impressive 27 matches.

As Inter celebrates their Serie A triumph, AC Milan will be left reeling from their sixth consecutive defeat in the Milan derby. Stefano Pioli’s men will be eager to bounce back in their upcoming clash against Juventus, aiming to end the season on a positive note after falling short in the title race.
