Inter Milan Crowned Serie A Champions As Scudetto Returns To San Siro

Last Updated:May 04, 2026, 09:13 IST

Inter Milan seal their 21st Serie A title with a 2-0 win over Parma, capping a dominant season and completing a stunning turnaround under coach Cristian Chivu.

Inter Milan are back on top of Italy.

A commanding 2-0 win over Parma sealed their third Serie A title in six seasons, sparking wild celebrations at the San Siro and across the city.

No Doubt, Just Execution

Unlike last season’s nail-biting finale, this title race was effectively done months ago.

Inter surged clear as rivals Napoli and AC Milan faltered, building a lead that proved insurmountable. With three games still to play, Inter sit 12 points clear of Napoli and 15 points ahead of Milan.

By Sunday, it was simply a formality.

Marcus Thuram opened the scoring just before half-time with a composed finish, before Henrikh Mkhitaryan wrapped things up after the break to send the home crowd into celebration mode.

Outside the stadium, thousands gathered at Duomo Cathedral, turning the city into a sea of blue and black.

Chivu’s Rebuild Pays Off

Just a year ago, Inter were reeling, narrowly losing the 2025 title and suffering a crushing Champions League final defeat.

Enter Cristian Chivu.

The former Inter defender, a surprise appointment after Simone Inzaghi departed, has transformed the squad with minimal changes but maximum impact.

What looked like a gamble last summer now looks like a masterstroke.

Eyes on the Double

And Inter aren’t done yet — they now have the chance to complete a historic league and cup double when they face Lazio in the Coppa Italia final on May 13 in Rome.

Victory there would mark just the third domestic double in the club’s history.
