The blue side of Milan is in full party mode tonight. In a season that felt like a relentless march toward destiny, Inter Milan have officially been crowned Serie A champions for the 2025/26 season.
The Nerazzurri sealed their 21st league title with three games to spare following a clinical 2-0 victory over Parma at a roaring San Siro on Sunday. With second-placed Napoli held to a goalless draw by Como 1907 just 24 hours earlier, Inter knew a win would mathematically end the race. They didn’t blink.
The Chivu Revolution
When Cristian Chivu took the reins last June, skeptics questioned if the former treble-winning defender had the experience to lead a giant. Those doubts have been silenced. Chivu has transformed Inter into a balanced machine, blending a rock-solid defense with a lightning-fast transition game.
“We gave everything we had,” said a jubilant Nicolo Barella after the final whistle. “You can win or lose, but I am so proud of this team.”
Match Highlights: How the Title Was Won
The tension at the San Siro was palpable early on, but the hosts maintained total control:
• The Breakthrough: Just before the halftime whistle, Marcus Thuram ignited the crowd, latching onto a slick through ball from Piotr Zielinski to slot home.
• The Insurance Goal: In the 80th minute, veteran Henrikh Mkhitaryan—assisted by the ever-reliable Lautaro Martinez—doubled the lead, effectively starting the trophy celebrations ten minutes early.
The Quest for the Double
The celebrations won’t last too long. Inter have a massive date with destiny on May 13, where they face Lazio in the Coppa Italia final. Winning that would secure a historic domestic double—a feat the club hasn’t achieved since the legendary Jose Mourinho era in 2010.
